Shah Rukh Khan will participate in a dialogue segment as an effort to forge ways for the development of Chinese and Indian films as well as the creation of opportunities to strengthen film cooperation between the two countries, a statement read.

With Zero joins legendary filmmaker Satyajit Ray’s classic Pather Panchali as one of the five Indian films that have been listed for screening at China’s premier international film festival.

“I’m so happy that Zero has been selected as the closing film at the Beijing International Film Festival. The film is very special to us and this news is very encouraging. I hope the audience there enjoys the film,” Zero director Aanand L Rai had earlier said in a statement.

Apart from Shah Rukh Khan, Zero also starred Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma in the lead roles. The film tanked at the Indian box office.
