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.

The saddest part about #Brahmastra is that they've named SRK's character after his very special 'Mohan Bhargav' from Swades. Mohan didn't deserve this.#BrahmastraReview pic.twitter.com/Ii82PTyOyu
While talking about this coincidence, an industry expert spoke to Bollywood Hungama and said,
Callback to swadesh, scientist Mohan bhargav! ?#SRK? #BrahmashtraReview #brahmastra pic.twitter.com/ijqmaIzeqv

"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!
Naming the character again Mohan Bhargav from Swades is not just SRK and scientist factor but Ayan Mukerji factor too....

Ayan Mukerji too had a major role in making of Swades,our Swades has inspired so many people, some films are just way too above Box office ? #Swades pic.twitter.com/bAabOZJVf3
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¡ªPart 1: Shiva was released in theatres on September 9th, 2022.
