Since a few days, there were reports floating in media that Shah Rukh Khan has signed a big action film that will be directed by Ali Abbas Zafar but looks like it was all just a rumor. King Khan, who was last seen in 'Zero' by Anand L Rai opposite Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma, took to his Twitter handle to clarify that it is all false and he will be doing a film only when he announces it. Read his full tweet here -

ZERO, A DISASTER

Shah Rukh who plays the role of a vertically-challenged person in 'Zero', in early 2019 spoke at the 10th edition of the Indian film festival of Melbourne (IFFM) and said: "I just finished the last film I made and to put it lightly it was a disaster. I said to myself that let me enjoy a little bit of un-success as I had success for so long. So I have taken some time off for the next four or five months. As a matter of fact, I’m on these breaks, coming here (Melbourne) and meeting people, realizing and discovering new stories, doing intellectual speaking."

WHEN HE FEELS LIKE A 'LOSER'

He may be a superstar for his fans and critics alike but as per actor Shah Rukh Khan, there are moments in his life when he feels like a "loser", something that only pushes him to work harder. "I feel like a loser over everything. I was with Aamir Khan the other day. And he asked me 'Why are you like this, Shah? Why do you think this way?' I got to know after talking that he was also thinking the same way. He wasn't asking me out of surprise, he wanted to know the answers for himself," Shah Rukh said at the trailer launch of his film "Zero".

The 53-year-old superstar believes it is "always important to have lack of over confidence". "Over confidence is worse than feeling like a loser. I feel I work harder when I think I am not good enough. I always feel I'm not good enough. I sometimes joke that I don't know how to dance, I've five expressions but I genuinely believe them, that I'm not good at everything, so I've to work harder," he said.
