SRK Is Shaken Up By Failure Of Zero

Shah Rukh Khan's last venture, Zero had a debacle at the box office. Writer Anjum Rajabali says Shah Rukh Khan backed out of astronaut Rakesh Sharma's biopic Saare Jahan Se Achha as he was shaken up by the failure of Zero.

There were reports that Shah Rukh was skeptical to venture into another space film after Zero, which had its character travel to Mars for love and hence quit Saare Jahan Se Achha.

At a panel discussion at FICCI Frames, Anjum, however, said the space angle was not the reason for the superstar to leave the film.

Finally spilling beans on the exit of the superstar, he said to a leading daily, Indian Express, "If you are asking me, there was a problem with the script (of Zero). Himanshu (Sharma) is a very talented person but things go wrong sometimes. I don't think he said no to Saare Jahan Se Achcha because of space (angle). I think he is also pretty shaken up. He was banking a lot on that."

On the other hand, King Khan is taking his time to confirm the next project.
