Shah Rukh Khan, who always loves to crack jokes at his own expense, rehashed public memory and said that one shouldn't try to make a film like Zero at the launch of Aryan Khan's directorial debut The Ba***ds Of Bollywood Preview. Zero, directed by Anand L Rai, tanked at the box office, prompting a hiatus for Shah Rukh Khan for almost 5 years. Anushka Sharma played the female lead in the film.
What's Happening
The preview of The Ba***ds Of Bollywood promises an engaging drama, which aspires to debunk the myths of Bollywood in a style that it's known for.
During a fun zest with actor Manish Chaudhari, who plays a producer in the film, Shah Rukh Khan says, "Producer to producer ek baat kahun... (Can I say something as a producer).
"Sir, aapko jo bhi banana hai bana lena, ullu bana lena, gadha bana lena, mamu bana lena lekin bhagwan ke liye meri taranh Zero mat banana (You can make whatever you wish, make a fool of someone or anything, but please for God's sake, don't ever make Zero like me)," Shah Rukh adds, making the audience burst into a loud laughter.
The clip was shared by a paparazzo on his Instagram feed and it garnered love in quick time.
