Zero: Did you know Shah Rukh Khan wanted to play Babita, Anushka Sharma hoped to portray Bauaa, and Katrina Kaif was eyeing Aafia?
Aanand L Rai’s 2018 film Zero was one of the most ambitious projects of Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif, and Anushka Sharma’s career. The trio played some of those characters that no one imagined them in and despite a commercial failure, their performances found a place in the loudest cheers. However are you aware that the actors initially wanted to play each other’s character in the movie?
For the unversed, Zero’s script underwent massive changes since its first draft from its name and character sketches of all the actors onboard. During the film’s promotion, Anushka Sharma shared a video featuring the entire cast and the director speaking about the film while taking an oath that they’d only speak the truth.
It was during this sequence only that Shah Rukh Khan named Katrina’s character Babita Kumari as his favorite while admitting that he wanted that for himself – to be treated like a star with a sea of crowd around him and expensive clothes on his body. Katrina then admitted that not just hoped to play Afia (Anushka’s character) but also cried in front of Aanand in order to get that role.
Anushka further added that she also wished to play Bauaa (SRK’s character) for the reason how he held conversations with his parents and friends. Later in an interview with Midday, Katrina Kaif shared, “When the narration got over, I said ‘sir, let me do that.’ He said, ‘no beta it’s already cast.’ He didn’t say it’s already cast. I think he said that ‘we’ve already kind of thought of someone.’”
You’ll be shocked to know that Katrina went a step ahead, recorded the audition of herself in Aafia’s character, and showed it to Aanand L Rai because she was passionate about playing it. She said, “I showed it to him on the laptop and he watched it and he actually thought about it he was like ‘I am really moved that you’ve done this give me a few days.’ So that gave me hope.”
Sadly, Rai had a different vision for the movie and all the three actors played characters they didn’t want to and aced it like anything. The filmmaker was a visionary and his casting proved the same in all senses.

5 Sylvester Stallone’s Highest Grossing Movies: Guardians Of The Galaxy Volume 2 tops
Sylvester Stallone is one of the most loved and respected film personalities in the world. In a career spanning across 7 decades, the actor has given his audiences, extraordinary films and performances. He has redefined the action genre with some of the most influential action films of all time. He still actively works in films and is an inspiration to all those who want to make it big in the glamour industry. Here’s having a look at Sylvester Stallone’s Highest Grossing Movies.
5 Sylvester Stallone’s Highest Grossing Movies Worldwide
1. Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol: 2
Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol: 2 is the highest grossing movie of the GOTG franchise, with a global cume of USD 869 million. The Guardians films are among the most acclaimed films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, also called MCU. It was the 8th highest grossing movie of the year.
Sylvester Stallone essayed the role of Stakar Ogord, a high ranking ravager. While he didn’t lead the film, his character was an integral one. He continued to reprise his role of Stakar Ogord in the third film of the franchise and it ended up becoming his second highest grosser. Marvel showed their interest in having Stallone be part of more MCU films.
2. Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol: 3
Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol: 3 was a box office success, much like the other two parts. The film grossed USD 845 million against an estimated budget of USD 250 million. Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol: 3 was a comeback of sorts for Marvel. Before GOTG 3, there were a few Marvel films that didn’t do as well as they should have.
Sylvester Stallone continued to reprise his role of Stakar Ogord. It is to be seen if the actor continues being part of these big-ticket commercial superhero flicks that have found the love of the audiences since the very beginning.
3. The Expendables 2
The Expendables 2 is the highest grossing film of The Expendables franchise, with a global gross of around USD 315 million against a budget of roughly USD 100 million. The film featured an ensemble of big action stars and Stallone was the pick of the actors. The movie managed over 70 percent of its business from international markets. In North America, it was slightly affected by the mass shootings in Colorado.
After The Expendables 2, the franchise lost its mojo. While The Expendables 3 did decently, Expend4bles ended up being a major flop. The fourth film of the franchise has almost put an end to any future developments of the franchise that were being planned prior to its release.
4. Rocky IV
Rocky IV is the highest grossing film of perhaps the most influential boxing franchise, Rocky. Rocky IV grossed USD 300 million worldwide against a budget of USD 28 million. It was the second highest grossing film of the year, worldwide. With Rocky IV, the glorious track record of massively successful Rocky films stretched to 4 films.
Rocky V is where Sylvester Stallone got a major jolt. The film was not received well and it continues to be said to be the worst film of the franchise. Rocky VI released years later and it was well received, both critically and commercially. After that, Stallone and team began work on a spinoff film, Creed. Creed was a huge success and so are its sequels.
Rambo: First Blood Part II
Rambo: First Blood Part II is the highest grossing Rambo film. It is the second film from the Rambo franchise. Despite mixed reviews, the movie emerged a major blockbuster and it continues to be one of Stallone’s highest grossing movies, even after almost 40 years of its release.
Rocky and Rambo are considered to be Stallone’s best box office bets and the fortune that he has built from these two franchises is no joke.
