&pictures to premiere ‘Zero’ on Nov 23
MUMBAI: ‘Sapne Size Dekh Kar Nahi Aate’, this dialogue from the superhit movie – ‘Zero’, beautifully highlights that one doesn’t need to set their dreams basis their background or appearance. Even with perfectly imperfect situations, one can rise above and beyond in terms of achieving their
dreams. Similarly, is the case with 38-year-old Bauua Singh who is vertically challenged, but this doesn’t stop him from dreaming big.
Carrying his confidence in every centimetre he embarks on a journey of finding fame and love. Starring Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif in the lead, along with Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Tigmanshu Dhulia and Sheeba Chadha essaying pivotal roles, Zero is all set to take you on a hilarious yet emotional roller coaster ride. Directed by Aanand L Rai, the movie will premiere on Saturday, 23 rd November at
8pm only on &pictures under their property Saturday Premiere Nights.
Katrina Kaif who essays the role of Babita Kumari said, “When I entered the industry, I knew I had to put in a lot of hard-work to get where I am today. Zero, according to me, is a film that encourages people to look beyond what holds them back and live a fulfilling life that they always
dreamt of. I consider this film close to me as it talks about the passion that everyone should have in their life.”
Anushka Sharma said, “Aafia’s character is independent and highly accomplished. She has achieved multiple accolades on the professional front, despite dealing with an ailment which would have been tougher, probably impossible if not for the wheelchair aid. While Bauaa and Aafia’s characters have challenges, but they also have their dreams and desires that pushes them to go that extra mile.”
Set against the backdrop of Meerut, the story revolves around Bauua Singh (Shah Rukh Khan), a short stature man who never falls short of confidence. His childlike innocence and his best friend Guddu Singh (Mohammad Zeeshan Ayub) come to his rescue every time he gets himself in a difficult situation. After having difficulty in finding a marriage partner, he comes across Aafia Yusufzai (Anushka Sharma), an accomplished scientist with Cerebral Palsy. To woo her, Bauua uses all the tricks in the book which makes her fall in love with him. However, their love story faces a twist with the entry of superstar Babita (Katrina Kaif) due to which he is put to test with his first relationship. This love triangle takes them to far off cities and thrusts Bauua into an adventure to find what his heart truly desires while he paves his way from Meerut to Mars.

Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Premieres 14 Feb on Zee
Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat world TV premiere 14 Feb at 8pm passion meets politics.
MUMBAI: Cupid’s arrow just got a plot twist and it’s heading straight for your TV screen. This Valentine’s Day, Zee Cinema is turning up the heat with the world television premiere of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, a raw, rule-breaking romantic drama that proves love doesn’t always come wrapped in roses.
Set to air on Saturday, 14 February at 8pm, the film stars Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa, directed by Milap Zaveri. It dives headfirst into obsession, heartbreak, and the kind of unconditional love that leaves scorch marks. Rane plays Vikramaditya, a powerful politician whose all-consuming passion for actress Adaa spirals into chaos when his feelings go unreturned unleashing a storm of emotion, misunderstanding, and life-altering consequences.
The timing couldn’t be sharper. Audiences are clearly craving intense love stories over sugar-coated ones, and this film taps straight into that vein. Harshvardhan Rane already has a loyal fanbase from his cult hit Sanam Teri Kasam, which cemented his status as the go-to guy for heart-wrenching romance especially among younger viewers who keep the film on repeat.
Milap Zaveri captured the film’s beating heart, “This film is about love that doesn’t follow rules. With Valentine’s Day being a time when audiences gravitate towards romantic narratives, the television premiere of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat on Zee Cinema felt like the perfect fit. The continued love for intense romances shows there is a strong emotional appetite for such stories.”
Rane himself called it a story rooted in messy, honest emotion, “Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat explores love in its most intense and vulnerable form where emotions are messy and deeply human. It’s a story that doesn’t shy away from passion or pain on Valentine’s Day making it even more special as it reflects the many shades of love people experience.”
Sonam Bajwa added her take, “Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is not a conventional love story, it’s raw, intense and emotional. Valentine’s Day is usually associated with happy romance but this film explores love in its most vulnerable form.”
So if your Valentine’s plans include more than chocolates and clichés, tune in to Zee Cinema at 8pm on 14 February. Because sometimes the most unforgettable love stories aren’t the ones that end neatly, they’re the ones that leave you questioning just how far passion can push before everything changes.
