Aanand Rai’s got a plan to win over kids in Zero with Anushka Sharma!

“Aanand Rai, throughout the shoot, used to tell us on the sets that Anushka’s character will have a huge connect with kids. When he wrote the character, he had this in mind and he always called Aafia a very, very special character. Aafia is a very lovable person and she is smart, she is a genius and has her heart in the right place. Her full of life attitude despite her disabilities is a hugely positive angle in the film and the director always felt that it will be one of the strong emotional reasons why people, especially kids will love her character,” reveals a source.

It is a widely known fact that Anushka has gone all out preparing for her role in Zero. She went through rigorous 3 month prep and worked with two professional trainers - an occupational therapist and an audiologist - to get into the skin of her character, someone who is suffering from cerebral palsy. While on set, she used to use the wheel-chair to stay in her character!

Zero stars Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif in the leading roles. The film is set to release on December 21, 2018.
