Shahrukh Khan's extended cameo as scientist Mohan Bhargav in 'Brahmastra' was one of the most loved part of the film and it was a brilliant addition the already stellar cast. However, Shahrukh's contribution to the film wasn't limited to his cameo.
Sharing how Shahrukh Khan's experience of working on VFX heavy films came in handy while making 'Brahmastra', Ayan told PTI, I believe that as he has made a lot of visual effects films, he knows the struggle in making that kind of a film. He appreciated the journey I was on and knew how difficult it would be. He felt that if he can give a little support to the vision, he should do it.
Shahrukh character in the film was named Mohan Bhargav, which is a nod to his earlier film 'Swades'. Talking about that, Ayan said, In 'Swades', he plays a NASA scientist called Mohan Bhargava, who decides to come back and work in India. Since I had worked on 'Swades' as an assistant, I thought it would be a nice thing to throw in here.
Sharing one thing that he has learnt from Shahrukh, Ayan stated, He just came and did a great sequence. I don't know if anybody else would do it. People don't do it. I hope, one day, if I reach that position I am able to do something selflessly to help somebody else.
