Shah Rukh Khan has perfectly aced the sizzling romantic scenes in the movie being a high-spirit man whose short-height never dampens his courage and confidence.
Anushka Sharma, who has starred alongside Shah Rukh Khan in various movies shared a heartfelt message for Khan on Twitter to commemorate her decade-long journey in Bollywood that coincided with the release of ‘Zero’- fourth film Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma featuring together.

Interestingly, Anushka Sharma shared the screen with Shah Rukh Khan in her debut movie ‘Rab ne Bana Jodi’.
Although, trade pundits have claimed that Zero would break the record as the highest opening film of 2018, whether it remains short-lived as Thug of Hindostan or sustains its glory cannot be predicted given the viewers’ mixed reaction today.
