Fans request Dharma Productions, Ayan Mukerji to feature Shah Rukh Khan in Brahmastra spin off; start petition

Brahmastra seemed to take the silver screen by storm. Its visual grandeur and stellar lead cast aside, fans were also blown away by Shah Rukh Khan’s memorable cameo in the film. The actor essayed the role of a scientist who wields the Vanarastra. The cameo certainly made quite an impact on fans, who could not get enough of seeing the superstar in the awe inspiring avatar. Fans were so delighted with SRK’s special appearance that they wanted the next Brahmastra film to be centred around the character. In fact, some die hard fans even started a petition requesting the makers to do so.

The petition was started by a user named RMC+, and it read “I request Dharma Productions and director Ayan Mukerji to make a spin-off of Bhrahmastra featuring Mohan Bhargav, played by Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan”.The petition garnered over 1100 signatures over the course of two days. Sharing the petition on Twitter, a user wrote “Unbelievable... #SRK fans start a petition for a full #AstraVerse film with him !!! As a fan i have signed...request all SRK fans to do as well !”
