Writer Anjum Rajabali has said that he thinks Shah Rukh Khan is pretty shaken up with Zero's failure as he was banking a lot on it. The writer blamed the script of the film for its failure.
After the Zero debacle, Shah Rukh Khan has become very cautious about the films he signs. Shah Rukh was said to star in Saare Jahan Se Achha but the actor opted out of the film.
Speculations were rife that Shah Rukh opted out of the space film because his character in Zero too went on Mars for his love and the film failed miserably at the box office.
Now, writer Anjum Rajabali, has rubbished the space angle to be reason for Shah Rukh's exit from the film. At a panel discussion at FICCI Frames, he said, "If you're asking me, there was a problem with the script (of Zero). Himanshu (Sharma, the writer) is a very talented person but things go wrong sometimes. I don’t think he said no to Saare Jahan Se Achcha because of the space (angle). I think he’s also pretty shaken up, he was banking a lot on that."
Anjum also said that the makers have the tendency to blame everything else but the script of a film for its failure. "This whole practice and culture of postmortem, of analysing what went wrong hasn't really caught on. What happens then is, there are knee-jerk reactions rather than responses even from the makers," he said.
He added, "Oh, it (the failure) could be because of the space and hence we put two into two together. Oh it's because the time wasn't right, nobody wants to see a star in a disabled person's role. It could also well be that there was a problem with the DNA of the script."
