Twitter

If you're a die-hard Shah Rukh fan, it will get hard not to think of Swades after he reveals his name in Brahmastra.?

His character is called Mohan Bhargava—his name in Ashutosh Gowariker's 2004 film.?

In Brahmastra, SRK plays a distinguished scientist and an essential figure of the Brahmanch secret community, contrary to his role as a NASA scientist in Swades.

While talking about this coincidence, an industry expert spoke to Bollywood Hungama and said,

"It’s interesting that Shah Rukh Khan in Brahmastra is named Mohan Bhargav. He is usually known for playing Rahul and Raj, but Mohan Bhargav was also a memorable character. Hence, the moment his full name is uttered in the film, it instantly rings a bell in the viewers' minds."

Ayan Mukerji and Shah Rukh Khan have another exciting connection!?

Ayan worked as an assistant director and Ashutosh Gowariker's assistant on the movie Swades before becoming a filmmaker.?

Ayan seems to have chosen to give Swades, the first film he worked on at 19 years old, a beautiful tribute in his biggest film to date.?

Ayan described his experiences working on Swades as an AD and his interactions with Shah Rukh Khan on both Swades and Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna in two separate posts dated 2019.

The filmmaker also shared the inspiring note that Shah Rukh wrote for him after working with him on the Karan Johar directorial. Years later, Ayan directed Shah Rukh Khan in what is considered one of Shiva from Brahmastra: Part One's top sequences.

Starring Amitabh Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Mouni Roy & Nagarjuna, Brahmastra—Part 1: Shiva was released in theatres on September 9th, 2022.?
