Shah Rukh Khan's Zero comes with a lot of expectations. After all, the film sees the actor in a never-seen-before avatar - that of a vertically challenged man. More importantly, the Christmas release is being touted as the film that will see Khan at the top of his game, especially after his last outing, Jab Harry Met Sejal (2017), proved to be a damp squib.

Considering the Aanand L Rai-directed film has the advantage of being a festival release, trade analysts are predicting a strong opening at the box office.
