‘Brahmastra’, one of the most anticipated films of Bollywood, which not had a huge budget of 410CR and stars like Amitabh, Nag, Ranbir & Alia, the film has also the fictional factor that deals with the mythological aspect of Indian epic stories. Upon its release, the film received mixed reviews but slowly gained a good response at the theatre.
One of the surprising factors of the film was Shah Rukh. The film begins with Shah Rukh, who plays the character Mohan Bhargav, a scientist, who is working his way around his powerful astra. This completely surprised everyone in the theatre and the clips featuring SRK were viral for a couple of days all over the internet. Needless to say, it is the reference of ‘Swades’, where he has the same name. Another easter egg is ‘Swades’ the first film of Ayan Mukherjee, the director of ‘Brahmastra’, as an Assistant Director.
Post the release of the film, Ayan interacted with a media house and when asked about SRK’s role, he said “Before the fans were saying it, we were also saying that ourselves on sets. As we discovered the personality of the scientist, we said, ‘Yaar, we have to do stuff. We have to do the origins story of the scientist!’”
Looks like an origin story is brewing up for SRK!
