Filmmaker Aanand L Rai first collaborated with superstar Shah Rukh Khan on Zero (2018). Also starring Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma in principal roles, the film failed to live up to the high expectations of the audience and incurred heavy losses to all the stakeholders involved.
During a recent interview, when Rai was asked if he would like to work with Shah Rukh Khan again, despite the failure of Zero, he said he is keen to do another film with the superstar.
“We are working really hard to reach him now, we are working towards it. Maybe it will take a few more years or if tomorrow we have a story which he likes, we will be there. He is all heart,” said the filmmaker.
Meanwhile, Aanand L Rai is presently basking in the huge success of his latest directorial venture Atrangi Re (2021). Starring Dhanush, Sara Ali Khan, and Akshay Kumar in important roles, the film premiered on Disney+ Hotstar.
Shah Rukh Khan, on the other hand, is filming Yash Raj Films’ Pathan. Directed by Siddharth Anand, the film also stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham in lead roles. Khan also headlines Atlee Kumar’s next directorial, tentatively titled Lion.
