Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt has entered the Rs. 100 crore club in the country. Helmed by Karan Johar, the film marks his return to direction after seven years and marks his 25th year as a filmmaker. However, fans noticed the absence of Shah Rukh Khan who has often made cameos in his films. Karan Johar revealed recently why he didn’t approach the superstar.
When asked if he had approached Shah Rukh Khan for a cameo, the filmmaker told Sucharita Tyagi, “No, not at all. Shah Rukh did the most defining scene for me in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and for that, I will always be very grateful to him. I can’t keep using my privilege with Shah Rukh. I can’t push it.”
He added, “Do you remember he shot with us for 18 days for Brahmastra with no monetary exchange? He just gave his heart, time, body everything for that sequence. It was a large sequence. If I go again to him, it will be too much. Shah Rukh never says no to me. But I can’t keep going to him. I think you need to keep that card very close. I will use it because I have that kind of access to Mr Khan but I don’t want to keep using it for no reason.”
Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani has collected Rs. 109.83 crore in India. The film stars Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, Shabana Azmi, Tota Roy Chowdhury and Churni Ganguly.
Meanwhile, Karan Johar is reportedly working on his next project with Vishnu Vardhan, which will be headlined by Salman Khan. ALSO READ: Karan Johar faces criticism from mehendi artist Veena Nagda over claims on Alia Bhatt’s mehendi in RARKPK; says, “Be mindful”
