Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan have worked together on some of the biggest blockbusters of Hindi cinema. While rumours about them joining forces again have been doing the rounds lately, SRK has shot for a cameo in Johar’s most ambitious production venture Brahmastra, starring Amitabh Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in lead roles.
It was back in November when Khan took out some time from his busy schedule and shot for his scenes in the Ayan Mukerji directorial. Expressing gratitude to SRK for agreeing to do a cameo, Karan Johar said to a publication, “I don’t want to reveal his role but Ayan, Ranbir, Alia and I will be eternally grateful to him for coming on board with his vision and inputs. The energy Shah Rukh Khan brings with him when he walks onto a film set is unparalleled.”
The filmmaker went on to add that the work on the next two instalments of the project is also underway. “Yes, Ayan has got the structure of both parts ready and the writing material is firmly in place. He has been working on it every single day since the last five years. It’s his brainchild completely and has got terrific support from the cast, including Ranbir, Alia and Mr Bachchan, who have worked tirelessly. For five years, I have seen the boy struggle and create something that Indian cinema has never seen,” said Karan in conclusion.
Brahmastra is the costliest film that Dharma Productions has ever produced since coming into existence. The entire team has been working tirelessly on it for the past two years. After facing a couple of delays in its theatrical release, mainly due to heavy VFX work, the movie is expected to hit the marquee in 2020. An official release date is yet to be announced though.
