Zero's Director Aanand L Rai Feels SRK Is Still A Delhi Boy At Heart

It's the first time that the director, Aanand L Rai and the superstar, Shah Rukh Khan are coming together for a movie! The movie is creating lot of buzz all around with it's unique script line and teaser.

Aanand L Rai believes Shah Rukh Khan may have become a superstar but the actor still is the same Delhi boy at heart with humble beginnings and it was this quality that made him even more endearing for the filmmaker’s next Zero.

In Zero, the 52-year-old actor, popular for portraying characters in love stories set abroad, plays a vertically challenged man who travels from Meerut to New York.

“I always felt he is a very basic Delhi boy. Whenever I saw him in those valleys of Switzerland, I felt ‘Oh Delhi boy wahan tak pahuch gaya’ (the Delhi boy has achieved great heights). I never felt he didn’t belong there.”

“That is the reason why I think he has a great connect in our country because he represents a basic middle-class boy who has achieved it,” Aanand told PTI when asked how does he see this transformation of the actor.

Well, the Delhi Boy has reached heights and will achieve more with every day passing.
