Karan Johar’s latest directorial, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (RRPK), has taken the box office by storm, captivating both critics and audiences alike. Apart from its innovative storyline, the film’s music has garnered immense praise. The movie’s song “Heart Throb”, featuring Ranveer Singh and cameo appearances by Janhvi Kapoor, Ananya Pandey, Sara Ali Khan and Varun Dhawan, is making a lot of noise.
However fans noticed the absence of Shah Rukh Khan, who is known for his cameo appearances in Karan Johar films. When questioned about whether he approached SRK for a role in RRPK, 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.”
Karan Johar bankrolled Brahmastra and it was directed by Ayan Mukerji. Karan’s last directorial before Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani was Ae Dil Hai Mushkil in 2016. With RRPK, he returned to the director’s chair after a seven-year hiatus for a feature film. Starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in lead roles, the film also featured veteran actors including Jaya Bachchan, Shabana Azmi, and Dharmendra in pivotal roles. RRPK has crossed the Rs 200 crore mark globally.
