EXCLUSIVE: Zeeshan Ayyub on Zero: If SRK or Salman take risks, people still want to see them in same pattern
We got in touch with Zeeshan Ayyub who plays the role of Shah Rukh Khan aka Bauua Singh's friend in Aanand L Rai's Zero to know his take on the mixed response by the audience.
Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma's film has finally hit the screens yesterday, and some liked it, while others did not. There's a mixed sort of response that the movie has been getting from the audience and critics. The movie has SRK playing Bauua Singh who is vertically challenged but is full of life and loves to experiment. This is the first time that we have seen a Bollywood superstar play this kind of a role. It is an experimental move by SRK. We got in touch with Zeeshan Ayyub who plays the role of Bauua Singh's friend in Aanand L Rai's Zero to know his take on the mixed response by the audience.
On this, he told us, "See, I think Aanand and Himanshu have taken a risk as they wanted to do something apart from the regular films. I believe that's the best part of art that it's loved by some people and if you don't feel connected, you don't like it. But, people are appreciating it, at least the kind of response I am getting. It's a journey and I guess some people are ready to take a ride on that car and some are not. I am not too much affected by the idea that some people are not liking it. I think you should have trust in your art, as I always say. They have tried something new and I appreciate it a lot that at least they are people who are trying to experiment with their screenplay and getting into the fantasy zone."
Then, we mentioned to him that it is a pattern that we have noticed whenever Shah Rukh Khan or Salman Khan attempt to break the monotony and try something new, people don't accept or appreciate it. Zeeshan agreed to it and said, "I agree with you and that's the most unfortunate part. We keep on saying that we are tired of watching a particular kind of cinema. This year some great films came and this was because someone was ready to take that risk."
"If Shah Rukh Khan or Salman Khan are taking any risk, people are like they want to watch them in the same pattern. Then, we keep on complaining that they work in similar kind of films. It's kind of hypercritic statement and I think we should keep trying or else we won't ever be able to break through," he said and signed off.
