Well, now we have to ask who isn’t featuring in Aanand L Rai’s multi-star cast Zero! The names keep getting added on for this Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma starrer. We already know that Salman Khan has shot a song for the film. Essaying cameos in the film are a bevy of actresses including the late Sridevi, Rani Mukerji, Kajol, Karisma Kapoor, and Alia Bhatt. The common factor: they have starred opposite Shah Rukh over the years. Not long ago it was revealed that Abhay Deol too had an interesting part in the film, and now there are more such additions in store…
It is learnt that director Aanand has roped in Jimmy Sheirgill and R Madhavan for his film as well. Apparently, Rai has a soft spot for both these actors, who had featured in his highly entertaining film series, Tanu Weds Manu and Tanu Weds Manu Returns. He has had his faves brought in for Zero in small but interesting roles.
Of course, the actors were more than happy to come on board for the director, whom they are also very fond of. Buzz has it that Madhavan will soon leave for New York to shoot his guest appearance. He has recently recovered from a serious injury which had seen him pull out of the Aanand Rai production Hunter, which stars Saif Ali Khan. Jimmy Sheirgill will also complete shooting his cameo in a few days.
The plotline of Zero revolves around the lives of three characters played by Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka, all of whom are struggling to make the best of their lives. In the film, Shah Rukh Khan plays the role of a dwarf; Katrina Kaif plays an actress struggling with alcoholism while Anushka Sharma essays the role of a failed scientist.
