Top national media houses such as Hindustan Times, Mumbai Mirror, First Post, Indian Express, India Today among others are abuzz with the reports of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan having been roped in to play a crucial cameo in SS Rajamouli’s highly anticipated “Baahubali: The Conclusion”. The team of Baahubali however has not yet made any official announcement about this.
Reportedly, the makers of Baahubali were looking for a superstar from another language to essay the role of the peacemaker between Prabhas and Rana’s characters. Tamil star hero Suriya followed by Malayalam superstar Mohanlal were initially approached for the role but they reportedly turned it down.
A lot of rumors on addition of more stars to Baahubali 2 after the success of Baahubali continues to surface every now and then. Makers of Baahubali have earlier refuted all such reports. They however are silent over this report about SRK’s cameo.
If these reports published by national media turns true then no doubt the already popular Baahubali franchise will get new craze especially in North and overseas. SRK has earlier played various memorable cameos including the one in Karan Johar’s latest romantic drama ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’. The actor is also in news to play a cameo in Salman Khan’s new film ‘Tubelight’. Going by the actor’s latest penchant towards cameos and his appreciating words for Baahubali on several occasions in the past, SRK might have accepted if he was approached.
