A love triangle forms between the three, taking them to far-off cities, and thrusting Bauua on an adventure to discover both his true love and the measure of a man's true worth.[7]

Development

"Like the way we say that perfect is boring, imperfection is much interesting... Our film is also celebrating the same. The story of the film is celebrating a perfect love story of two imperfect people. Though the protagonist of the film is a dwarf but more than the physical disability of an individual, the story talks about the space of emotional incompleteness of our life."

Aanand L. Rai on the decision to name the film Zero and its implications[25]

Director Aanand L. Rai conceived the film in 2012 after watching Krrish and drawing parallels of the titular character with that of American superheroes such as Spider-Man, Batman and Superman. He appreciated the achievement of Indians having their own superhero film but felt wary of the outreach, saying, "I loved seeing Hrithik Roshan fly off a 250-feet building, it was brilliantly done, but deep down I felt this wasn’t us. Apart from our mythological demigods, Indians aren’t ready for superheroes, we are still short in height. That’s what made me want to live life from the perspective of a dwarf [[sic]]."[26]

The film was initially titled Katrina Meri Jaan. However, this was later scrapped because the producers thought the title would be too misleading to people and make them presume the film is about Kaif.[27] In between productions, the film underwent through numerous working titles such as Bauaa, Bauna, Butka, Bandhua and Batla. Red Chillies Entertainment registered three names for use as the film's title.[28] In the end, a unanimous decision was made to call the film Zero, revealed in January 2018.[29][30][31]

Bollywood Hungama reported the budget of the film to be around ₹150 crore.[32] Rai refuted these reports and stated that the film did have a big budget at that time, but less than the reported amount, and that the amount might change.[33] In October 2018, after post-production work was completed, the film's budget was revealed to be ₹200 crore, making it the most expensive film starring Khan.[6] Himanshu Sharma, who wrote the script, confirmed the story to be a romantic drama.[34] He stated that while the story does feature a little person as a character, the plot does not revolve only around that character.[34]

Casting

Initially, Salman Khan was approached for the role in 2012.[35] The role then went to Shah Rukh Khan. His casting was confirmed in March 2016.[36] He plays a three-four foot physically challenged man.[37][38] Rai cast Khan to play the lead role because he needed a big star for the story to penetrate globally. He needed "an intelligent actor, who also can carry that happy-go-lucky attitude," and he felt Khan possessed those qualities.[25][39] Rai realised the difference between a six-foot tall person saying "I love you" and a four foot tall person; hence he hired Khan.[26] Khan is the fifth actor of normal stature in Indian cinema to play a little person after Kamal Haasan in Apoorva Sagodharargal (1989),[40] Johnny Lever in Aashiq (2001), Jagathy Sreekumar in Athbhutha Dweepu (2005) and Anupam Kher in Jaan-E-Mann (2006).[41]

After much speculation, Rai confirmed Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif as the female lead actors in the film in June 2017; this would be the second collaboration between the two actresses and Khan after their 2012 film Jab Tak Hai Jaan.[42] Kaif was cast after Salman Khan suggested her.[43] Sharma was reported to play a differently-abled person,[27] whereas Kaif confirmed that she will portray the role of an actress.[29] Both Sharma and Kaif were offered the role not because of their stardom but because they fit the role according to Rai.[39] According to Kaif, she was offered the film before Khan was cast. She was initially supposed to play herself in the film, but the character was later revised to be a satirical take on herself.[44][45] She later confirmed that the script and story of Zero had changed over two years, hinting that Khan recommended this.[46]

Tigmanshu Dhulia will portray Khan's father. He showed interest in the project after hearing about its heavy technical involvements.[27] Abhay Deol was cast as a love interest[13], and R. Madhavan, who had previously worked with Rai in both Tanu Weds Manu films, announced his casting by sharing a selfie with Rai on the film's set in late May 2018.[14] Khan refrained from signing any other film during Zero's production.[47] The film features guest appearances by Salman Khan, Rani Mukerji, Deepika Padukone, Kajol, Alia Bhatt, Sridevi, Karisma Kapoor and Juhi Chawla who will portray themselves.[48] This will mark Sridevi’s last appearance in a film, as she died before the film's release shortly after filming.[27][49]

Principal photography

In August 2016, it was said that filming would begin in December 2016.[50] This was later postponed to 2017.[51] Principal photography of the film eventually began in May 2017 in Mumbai.[52][53] In May, an accident occurred on the set, in which crew members were injured.[54] In June 2017, Khan revealed that only 10 minutes of footage had been completed.[55] Kaif joined the team on 22 September 2017.[56] Sharma started shooting in September.[57] On 8 January, she resumed her shooting after taking a break for a couple of weeks for her wedding.[58] Two days later, Khan was photographed on the sets of the film in suburban Mumbai.[59] The crew took a break during the Makara Sankranti festival.[60] The shoot was also extended to Bandra, Mumbai.[61] Around January 2018, Kajol completed filming for her cameo.[62] Parts of the film were also shot in Dubai.[63]

Visual effects were heavily used to make Khan's character three feet tall.[37] According to Khan, this was done as "I would have a problem if I have to do it on my knees. I am trying to avoid that part because that looks unreal also, and in today’s time and age, you don’t want to do that."[64] The makers took inspiration from the technology used in The Lord of the Rings. The character was shot using Forced Perspective, which according to NDTV, is "a technique that employs optical illusion to make an object appear farther away, closer, larger or smaller than it actually is. It will make SRK look shorter."[65] According to Rai, the film will use the most visual effects for an Indian film.[66]

To better prepare for her role in a wheelchair, Sharma met with an occupational therapist and an audiologist, who taught her how to create an involuntary spasm-like action during her dialogue scenes; the occupational therapist was always on set to monitor Sharma's performance.[16] In an interview with The Telegraph, Sharma noted that in the beginning stages of the shoot, shaping the physicality of the character was difficult for her and that she would ask for many more takes than usual because her movements didn't feel correct. During the first schedule, she asked Khan to be more patient with her during their scenes while she got used to the character, which he obliged. She observed that because the character performed involuntary movements, they were very difficult to do and required "heavy breathing, which would get me very tired and my body would go into spasms because I had tightened it so much."[67] She eventually got more comfortable in her performance later on. In between takes, instead of returning to her normal physicality as most actors would, she would remain in the wheelchair, then "go to another mark on my wheelchair and sit there alone. I would rarely leave the wheelchair on set, and ended up staying away from everybody as well."[67]

In the behind-the-scenes video of the making of the song "Mere Naam Tu,"[68] Anushka Sharma details the video in a voice-over, and she mentions several aspects of the song's making. She noted that choreographer Remo D'Souza directed the video and brought his trademark creativity, including the inclusion of children, into the song's dance sequence. The sequence was filmed over the course of 14 days, with Sharma mostly wearing pajamas and being confined to a wheelchair for its duration. It was filmed in the corridor of a hotel, yet was transformed into a "fantasy land," with the addition of on-set rain and Holi colors. While on set, the wheelchair-bound Sharma can be seen on an elevated platform while interacting with Shah Rukh Khan's character Bauua, to create the illusion of his short stature.

Most of the film was filmed entirely in Film City.[69] In February 2018, it was reported that the post-production work of a second teaser was being carried out.[70] From 4–8 April 2018, Khan shot the film's schedule in Vasai, Mumbai, flying in a helicopter to avoid the traffic.[71] In middle April, the film's shooting was reported to shift to the United States for a sequence.[48] Some sequences were also filmed in Alabama.[72] Khan finished filming for Zero, and wrapped the film's principal photography in Orlando, during the month of June 2018.[73]

Marketing and release

The title of the film was announced by Khan and Rai on 1 January 2018 in a minute long teaser posted on Twitter due to robust demand from fans. The video showed Khan in his dwarf avatar singing and dancing to Mohammed Rafi's "Hum Ko Tum Pe Pyar Aaya".[74][75] Although neither Kaif nor Sharma appeared in the teaser video, in one of the scenes, Khan wore a jacket with a collage of Kaif's pictures imprinted on it.[76] In less than 24 hours, the video garnered over 3 million views on YouTube alone, and Khan's announcement tweet had over 30,000 likes.[77] Red Chillies Entertainment later announced that Zero-related posts had reached over 10 million views, likes and mentions across various social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Instagram.[78] The following day, the first teaser poster with the tagline "21st December 2018 se aapke piche" was unveiled by Red Chillies Entertainment, revealing that the film would release on 21 December 2018.[25][79]

According to Rai, Zero was chosen to be released in December since it is "a month when we celebrate life and what better time for a boy who celebrates that he is physically incomplete and in his incompleteness completes others as he travels from Meerut to New York. There is a beauty in incompleteness we are celebrating."[39] During the Islamic festival of Eid, a promotional teaser[80] was released on 13 June 2018, featuring Shah Rukh and Salman, the latter in the attire sported by him in the film Tiger Zinda Hai (2017).[81] In late August 2018, Rai confirmed to news agency Bollywood Hungama that the trailer for Zero would release on 2 November, Khan's birthday.[82] In late October 2018, as part of the promotional campaign, a verified Twitter account emerged in the name of Bauua, Khan's character from the film, featuring the cartoon version of Bauua Singh's first look and posting humorous tweets.[83][84]

On 1 November, the day before the release of the trailer, two official posters[85] were revealed by Khan on his social media pages: one featuring Khan's character Bauua Singh and Anushka Sharma's character in Connaught Place in New Delhi,[86] and another with Singh and Katrina Kaif's character in front of Meerut's clock tower.[87] On the morning of 2 November, Director Aanand L. Rai released a third poster on his Twitter page, depicting Khan's Bauua Singh standing on a street near Broadway in New York City.[88] The same day, Red Chillies Entertainment released the official trailer on YouTube.[17] The trailer recorded more than 54 million views within 24 hours,[89] and eventually recorded the fastest 100 million views on YouTube for any Indian film, surpassing Thugs of Hindostan to become YouTube's most-watched Indian trailer of all time.[90] On 10 November, Zero's trailer was screened at the 24th Kolkata International Film Festival in the presence of Khan and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamta Banerjee.[91] On 20 November, Red Chillies Entertainment uploaded an official promo video to their Youtube channel.[92] On the same day, the film's makers launched an exclusive Bauua Singh WhatsApp sticker pack available for download.[93]

On 21 November, in starting a month-long countdown to the release of the film, a humorous behind-the-scenes look was released, entitled "Mera Samosa Waapis Karo" - revealing Director Aanand L. Rai's fondness for samosas and Shah Rukh Khan's playful prank on him about it.[94] Also on 21 November, Red Chillies Entertainment tweeted to announce official merchandise for the film - including phone covers, mugs, shirts, and headphone sets - which would be available for purchase on their company website's store page.[95] On 22 November, Red Chillies Entertainment revealed a new film poster depicting Bauua kissing Aafia on the forehead in front of a large sunlit dome-arched window, and announced that the first song of the film would release the following day.[96] On 23 November, the first song of the film was released, titled "Mere Naam Tu";[97] an orchestral ballad picturized on Bauua as he sweepingly proclaims his love for Aafia, it was composed by Ajay-Atul, lyricized by Irshad Kamil and sung by Abhay Jodhpurkar.[98]

On 30 November, Red Chillies Entertainment announced a fan-interaction website, called "Bauua Ki Toli." By completing social-media related activities and earning points, fans can earn the chance to become Bauua's "Khaasam Khaas" and win Zero merchandise, personalised autographed posters from Shah Rukh Khan, as well as movie ticket cashback from Paytm and exclusive Bauua apparel.[99] On 2 December, the producers released a new poster, featuring Khan's Bauua Singh being held by Salman Khan in the center-stage of a crowded dance hall, announcing the release of a new song, "Issaqbaazi."[100] On 4 December, "Issaqbaazi," the film's second song, was released; a fast-paced, rustic dance number picturized on a jubilant Bauua dancing with Salman Khan after being kissed by Babita, it was sung by Sukhwinder Singh and Divya Kumar, composed by Ajay-Atul and lyricized by Irshad Kamil.[101]

On 5 December, Shah Rukh Khan flew to Dubai to promote the film, greeting fans at a club on the rooftop of the Meydan Racecourse's grandstand;[102][103] the following day, he entertained 100,000 viewers[104] at Dubai's Global Village, dancing to several hit songs from his films. On 7 December, he travelled to Muscat (Oman), and Kuwait as part of the film's promotional tour.[105] On 7 December, Red Chillies Entertainment uploaded onto Youtube a behind-the-scenes video of the making of the "Mere Naam Tu" music video.[68] On 10 December, a teaser for a new song was released, "Husn Parcham."[106] On 14 December, a new dialogue promo featuring Bauua Singh was released, called "Bhabhi Ke Naam Ki Biryani," revealing his relationship with his father and his "quirky sense of humor."[107]
