Shah Rukh Khan’s Zero is 10th highest grossing film of 2018 globally
Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma starrer Zero may have not fared impressively at the domestic box office, but the Aanand L Rai directorial is doing wonders at the international box office. The movie which also had Katrina Kaif in a crucial role had all the bearings to typical Bollywood rom-com, fresh concept and the trailer also did well among the audience, however, the film wasn’t as grand as it was expected to be. Despite the lukewarm reception of the film in the country, this Shah Rukh Khan starrer becomes the 10th most grossing film of 2018 globally. Here’s how.
According to a Box Office India report, Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma’s Zero has crossed the international figures of Rajkummar Rao starrer Stree by earning Rs 178 crore. On the other hand, Rohit Shetty directorial Simmba, which had Ranveer Singh and Sara Ali Khan in lead roles, became the third highest grossing film of 2015 with collection more than Rs 300 crore.
