Shah Rukh Khan is a gutsy actor: Zero director Aanand L. Rai.

Shah Rukh Khan will be next seen in Aanand
L. Rai's next film, Zero. He will be seen in the
role of a vertically challenged man in the film.
Director Aanand L. Rai spoke to a leading
daily and said about Shah Rukh Khan, "I
think he is a very gutsy actor from day one,
he has always taken up challenges. And that
is the reason I am with him. As a director,
you should be prepared to take him on a
journey and explore such a superstar. He
says yes to subjects that are extraordinary
and puts himself in a space that is new, yet
different.
He also said that he is highly impressed with
Shah Rukh's performance in the film. "This is
a blessing that I got to work on a film like
this with him. I am happy. He is an intelligent
person to play this role. Who else can do this
and get into the skin of a character like this?
It is tough to take away those two feet,
flamboyance, grace and still say let's
romance'.
"In a decade's time, he will do so much as
an actor but as a visionary, he will take the
Indian cinema ahead. He doesn't think like
just as an actor. Do expect a lot of newer
things as an actor. He has got great plans,
continued Rai.
About Salman Khan's cameo in the film Rai
said, "It is a part of the story and it has not
been done to increase or give the film a
scale. The cameo parts are not done for the
sake of it, they have been used (well). There
is a reason for them to be a part of the film.
They (the appearances) are not structured. It
was a delight to have all of them in the film.
