Karan Johar made a spectacular comeback with Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani after 7 long years. The film has not only received massive love from the audience but also turned out to be Karan’s second film after Ae Dil Hai Mushkil to cross a century mark at the domestic box office and the sixth Bollywood film of the year to make Rs 100 crores. The film had many renowned actors alongside the lead actors and featured many interesting cameos. 

In one of the interviews, the director was asked why he did not approach King Khan for the cameo in RRKPK, to which the director replied that Shah Rukh has always been humble to the filmmaker and already appeared in Ae Dil Hai Muskil before, for which he will always be grateful. Besides Shah Rukh also shot for Brahmastra for 18 days with no monetary demands, and after hIm doing it, Karan decided not to approach the star for this film too.

Karan shared, "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." Following that the filmmaker spoke about Brahmastra, "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".

Shah Rukh will next be seen in Atlee Kumar's directed Jawan, which will go on floors on September 7, 2023.
