The megastar said that in December 2018, the film ‘Zero’ flopped and after that in January 2019, I was supposed to start shooting for the new film, but one day I woke up in the morning and called the producer of the film and said that I am not going to do the film. I don’t want to shoot, I won’t do any work for a year.

King Khan said that on hearing my refusal, the producer said that if you don’t like the film, you should refuse to work in it but don’t stop acting.
Shahrukh Khan continued his talk and added that after a year and a half I got a phone call from the same producer and he said to me that I can’t believe that you spent a year without acting.
