When one mentions Bollywood, the first names that instantly come to mind are Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan. These two mega-stars have long reigned over Bollywood, and fans across the nation have eagerly anticipated their reunion on the silver screen. The anticipation for a Bachchan-Khan reunion might soon be quenched, as per insider information. There’s an intriguing project in development that will see Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan sharing screen space once again. Although details about this project are scarce at the moment, more updates and news are expected to emerge soon. Their past collaborations in films like ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham,’ ‘Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna,’ and ‘Mohabbatein’ have always produced magical on-screen chemistry.
Shahrukh Khan made a cameo appearance as ‘Mohan Bhargav,’ a former NASA scientist, in the fantasy action-adventure film ‘Brahmastra: Part One Shiva,’ starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in lead roles, with Amitabh playing the pivotal role of Raghu, the guru of Brahmansh.
Upon hearing the news of their potential reunion, fans wasted no time speculating about the project. Many believed that the superstar duo might be collaborating for a promotional shoot for ‘Don 3.’ Notably, Farhan Akhtar had recently announced ‘Don 3’ with Ranveer Singh in the lead. While Amitabh Bachchan was the original Don in the Hindi film industry, Shah Rukh Khan carried the legacy forward by portraying Don in two films.
In a recent episode of KBC 15, Amitabh Bachchan fondly recalled his experiences of working with Shah Rukh Khan while conversing with a contestant who happened to be a devoted fan of the superstar. When the contestant, Aparna, confessed her deep admiration for Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh humorously promised to pass on her praises to SRK. He said, “Whenever I will meet him, I will tell him about you. I will say Aparna was praising you on the set of KBC.”
Aparna playfully inquired whether Shah Rukh Khan’s smile had the same enchanting effect on Amitabh as it did on fans like her. Amitabh replied, “In whichever films I have worked with him, I have lied down and worked. He (SRK) keeps laughing, and I end up falling. He is a very capable artist. I will give your mobile number to him. But whether you will get a reply from him or not, that is not my responsibility.”
