Shah Rukh Khan to do a cameo in Brahmastra?

Shah Rukh Khan was last seen on the big screen in Zero. The film, which also starred Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif, was a disaster at the box office. SRK has not yet announced his next film and there are reports that on his birthday, 2nd November, the actor will announce his next project. Reportedly, he will be seen in a film titled Sanki which will be directed by Atlee.

Now, according to a report in a tabloid, Shah Rukh Khan will be seen in a cameo in Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Amitabh Bachchan starrer Brahmastra. A source told the tabloid, “It’s a guest appearance but Shah Rukh plays a pivotal role in taking Ranbir’s journey forward. He has already allotted his dates for his portions and will shoot before the year-end.”


Ayan Mukerji, the director of Brahmastra, is a big fan of SRK, and he wrote a part that could only be played by the actor. The source said, “Shah Rukh himself likes Ayan’s work and immediately agreed to the cameo. And like everyone else’s in the film, even SRK’s character has the mythological touch.”

Well, in 2016, SRK had done a cameo in Ranbir Kapoor’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. His cameo was one of the highlights of the film. We are sure it will be interesting to see the two actors sharing the screen space once again.

Meanwhile, Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor will be heading to Manali to shoot for a 15-day schedule of the film. We wonder if SRK will join them in that schedule.

Brahmastra was slated to hit the screens in December this year. But has been postponed to Summer 2020. The makers have not yet officially announced the release date of the film. The movie also stars Nagarjuna and Dimple Kapadia.

Remembering together is more important than ever today

Why do traditions get invented? It often happens when there are identity gaps to fill. As the guns of the First World War fell silent, new rituals of public mourning were needed. The first national two-minute silence in November 1919 became known as the “great stillness”: everyone, everywhere seemed to stop. That moment struck such a public chord that it shaped a tradition of Remembrance that we continue a century later.

Yet silence was chosen back then partly because the Britain of 1919 was such a noisy, divided and fractious country. Luton Town Hall was burned down by veterans angry at the ticket prices for the Peace Day dinner inside, and the lack of jobs that made them unaffordable. A protest rally ahead of the first anniversary of the armistice opposed the government’s decision to leave the million dead buried in foreign fields, so that only the symbolic remains of the Unknown Warrior were brought home.
