Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan will play a cameo in Karan Johar’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. The director himself revealed at a recent international event, as reported by Indian media, that King Khan has shot for a scene in the upcoming film, due for release during Diwali.

‘Shah Rukh and I have an amazing working rapport. I haven’t directed a film with him in the last seven years, but he did a scene for me recently in a film that is going to release in Diwali and after seven years when I directed him, I realised nothing had changed. He knew exactly what I was expecting of him and I knew exactly what he was going to do,’ he was quoted by India Today.

‘There were reports earlier that Shah Rukh plays the husband of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s character, who dies about half-way through the film. There was a lot of speculation, whether Shah Rukh would be a part of the project, since he is always an integral part of Karan Johar’s films barring his last film Student of the year, which featured a cameo by Kajol.’

‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil exploded after the launch of the film’s teaser featuring an intense Ranbir Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Anushka Sharma and a bearded Fawad Khan. The film will clash with Ajay Devgn’s Shivaay on Diwali.
