Aanand L Rai and Shah Rukh Khan

Be it Darr, Baazigar, Swades or Chak De! India, Shah Rukh Khan has taken some big risks in his over 25-year-long career and it was this gutsy attitude of the superstar that made filmmaker Aanand L Rai believe in him. The duo have collaborated for the first time on the upcoming film Zero and Rai said Shah Rukh still has a lot to offer as an actor.

"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," Rai told PTI.
