Shah Rukh Khan’s cameo in Brahmastra confirmed by Mouni Roy

Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor’s first film together, Brahmastra, has created quite a buzz before it releases in theatres on September 9. The Ayan Mukerji-directorial also stars Nagarjuna, Amitabh Bachchan and Mouni Roy. Now, Mouni has confirmed Shah Rukh Khan’s cameo in the Karan Johar-backed film. Mouni said the actor makes a ‘special appearance’ in Brahmastra

In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Mouni spoke about her Brahmastra co-actors, and said, “Working with Ranbir, Alia, Bachchan sir, Nagarjuna sir, Shah Rukh sir has also played a guest appearance in it… being a part of this world is a privilege.”.

After the Brahmastra trailer launch in June, eagle-eyed fans had speculated that Shah Rukh had a cameo in the film. They had shared screenshots from the trailer and said that the person holding up a trident with fire around him was the actor. More recently, Shah Rukh’s Brahmastra look as ‘Vanarastra’ (inspired by Lord Hanuman) was allegedly leaked online.

In one of the photos shared online, a blood-soaked Shah Rukh was seen on his knees as he gave his signature open arms pose. Golden sparks were seen seeping out of his left foot. In another photo, as Shah Rukh’s alleged Vanarastra character elevates in the air, a bright golden silhouette of lord Hanuman begins to appear. However, before Mouni’s latest statement, this hadn’t been confirmed by anybody from the film’s cast or the makers.
