As Bollywood Hungama reported, the superstar blames Aanand on the failure of their film. The report quoted a source saying “Shah Rukh blames Rai entirely for the fiasco that was Zero. What was Aanand Rai thinking? This is what Shah Rukh now wonders, like everybody else.”

According to a source, SRK has quit the Rakesh Sharma biopic. He has also put off all his upcoming projects as well, even the Don franchise. He is currently taking time off for a particular plan in the future.

The truth behind the rumors between Shah Rukh Khan and Aanand L. Rai

While the rumors about the tiff of King Khan and Zero’s director have been flooded on the Internet, another source has refuted the rumors. It is informed that there is no issue between the two. Their relationship is still well after the film’s release.

Although Aanand Rai’s film wasn’t successful in India, it was luckily chosen to screen at the Beijing International Film Festival. On Zero’s promotion day in China, SRK said that “Unfortunately Zero itself wasn’t received too well back home in India, maybe I made the wrong film, maybe I did not do the right storytelling so I am a little wary how it will be received here and I hope people here will like it.”

Speaking to CRI Hindi, he revealed that the movie’s failure somehow prevented him from signing new projects.

Produced on a budget of Rs 200 crore, Zero is SRK’s most expensive film. Nevertheless, it couldn’t break the Rs 100 crore mark at the Indian box office. Zero reached Rs 186 crore in foreign countries.
