There are millions of people who watch Bollywood movies, and their opinion about Shah Rukh Khan can vary from ‘very good’ to ‘very bad’. But one thing that everyone unanimously agrees upon is that the man knows how to market his movies. And he didn’t disappoint once again as he released the trailer for the much anticipated ‘Zero’ on his birthday.
Directed by Aanand L. Rai, the first trailer of ‘Zero’ features Shah Rukh Khan in the role of Bauua Singh, Anushka Sharma as Aafia, a physically-challenged scientist, Katrina Kaif as Babita, a Bollywood actress and bucket-full of colour.
The trailer shows Bauua Singh falling in love with Anushka’s Aaifa, which leads to some naach-gaana. And then he gravitates to Katrina Kaif’s Babita, and then he does some naach-gaana with her. That’s followed by a lot of the rona and the dhona, and topped off by a rocket launching. So, all in all, there’s a love story alright, but it’s a bit too confusing to decipher what it’s all about at this point.
Nevertheless, as there was a lot of meme-worthy material in the ‘Zero’ trailer, netizens decided to curate it and present it as a return-gift for SRK.

After becoming the meme queen thanks to ‘Sui Dhaaga‘, fans announced that Anushka Sharma still holds that mantle.
