EXCLUSIVE: Zero to be Shah Rukh Khan's biggest release in Pakistan; here's what the trade experts have to say

Shah Rukh Khan’s Zero is one of the most anticipated movies of the year. SRK’s Zero is all set to hit the screens on December 21 in India and Pakistan both. It’s a win-win situation for SRK as his last film Raees was banned. Shah Rukh will be seen playing the role of Bauua Singh, a vertically challenged man in Zero. The film also stars Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif in the lead roles. Anushka plays the role of a scientist who suffers from cerebral palsy, whereas Katrina will be seen as an alcoholic movie star. Zero marks the reunion of the Jab Tak Hai Jaan stars after six years.

SRK’s previous releases did well at the Pakistan box office. Decoding his previous films, Fan earned Rs 5 crore in the first three days of its release. Dilwale collected Rs 21.3 crore in just two days of its release. Considering that Pakistan’s box office market is booming, we can expect that Zero will earn huge numbers too. We got in touch with trade experts to know their take on the Pakistan box office numbers. 

Here’s what they have to say:

It’s going to the biggest release for SRK in Pakistan. 8 years back, Don released and earned around 7 crores. I am sure that Zero is going to surpass those numbers by a huge margin. The film is creating a buzz as it's the first time people will get to SRK playing the role of a dwarf. The movie is getting a wide release and huge numbers can be expected

Pakistan is turning out to be a huge market for Hindi films, especially of Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Sultan are the top grossers in Pakistan till now. The screen count in Pakistan is increasing. I guess there are 110 screens now. They will get to see Shah Rukh Khan's film which is highly anticipated. The opening will be phenomenal. It should be in the range of Bajrangi Bhaijaan as there's a craze of SRK in Pakistan fans.
