Shah Rukh Khan will be seen in a cameo in Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt starrer Brahmastra. According to reports, the actor will play a scientist in Ayan Mukerji's fantasy drama.

As per recent reports, Brahmastra is designed in such a way that each actor plays a key role in the narrative. Ranbir's character meets each of them at different times of his quest to find the all-powerful 'Brahmastra'. Nagarjuna, Shah Rukh and Dimple Kapadia are all aids to Ranbir's character at specific points in the plot and push the story ahead. All of them have clues leading Ranbir to the 'Brahmastra'. In fact, the film opens with Shah Rukh's sequence. It also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Mouni Roy in important roles.

Brahmastra has been in the making since 2018 and has been shot in places like Bulgaria, Mumbai, Varanasi and Manali. The film was to release around Christmas in 2019 but was delayed, owing to its extensive VFX works.

It scheduled to release in December 2020. However, the final leg of the film's shoot, which was to take place in Mumbai, has been pushed to April, owing to the rapidly spreading coronavirus.
