However, when it came to the film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, Shah Rukh Khan eagerly expressed his desire and willingness to contribute to the project, offering his services to Karan Johar. Given their long history of successful collaborations, it seemed only natural for Shah Rukh Khan to be a vital component of this forthcoming endeavor.

According to a close source associated with Karan Johar, who spoke to a news portal, Karan made a deliberate choice to exclude Shah Rukh Khan from the film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani as a mere cameo appearance. The source explained that Karan Johar wanted to ensure that Shah Rukh Khan’s presence in the movie held significance to the overall plot. However, in this particular story, there was no suitable role for Shah Rukh Khan to fit in.
The source further disclosed that Shah Rukh Khan had offered his services to Karan Johar, emphasizing their long-standing belief in Shah Rukh Khan being Karan’s lucky charm. However, Karan reminded Shah Rukh that he didn’t want him to appear in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani just for the sake of it, only to vanish quickly.
