Is the gravitational pull on an object equalized if the object is at the centre of a planet, i.e. surrounded by the mass of the planet, which is creating the gravity?

Answer:

The gravitational pull in this instance would be the same from all directions, so the net effect would be no movement.

Of course, you would have to be completely encircled by the massive objects like in the centre of a ring for instance.
