Tragedy of SRK is when he experiments people want him to be the same old SRK - Anurag Kashyap on Shah Rukh Khan starrer Zero

Anurag Kashyap took to Twitter share his views on the film. He wrote, “Really really liked “Zero”. Barring one sequence where all the stars gather post interval, which disconnected me .No easy resolutions , streching the imagination its really a brave film. It engaged me through out. I really feel its the people’s expectations that disappoints them.”

He further added, “I have always maintained and tell my people , that best way to read a book and watch a film is to go in with a blank slate . And its ironical that the reason some films get made (superstars) is also the reason they are not seen in correct perspective.”

Anurag further said that seeing the stars coming out their comfort zones and taking risks is commendable. “Zero deserves a viewing just for so many new grounds it breaks within the mainstream . And then seeing all the Stars getting out of their comfort zones and pushing themselves by breaking the typecasts, breaking the expectations and not playing safe. I really liked the film,” he added.

But, responding to a user, Anurag said that he would hate to be in Shah Rukh Khan’s position. The reason being how people can’t understand what they want from him. “Tragedy of SRK is when he experiments people want him to be the same old SRK that they have loved & when he plays into it, they say why does he not try new things.i would hate to be in SRK’s place. Bcoz people expect him to cater to their expectations, not knowing what they want.”

Zero, helmed by Aanand L Rai, stars Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif. Shah Rukh Khan essays the role of a vertically challenged man.
