A source-based report by Pinkvilla claimed that the makers were eager to bring Shah Rukh Khan on board for a five-day cameo appearance in the film and that the actor was initially open to the idea. “The makers were keen to have Shah Rukh Khan onboard for a 5-day cameo, and he was absolutely open to the idea.”

The report further noted that King is of utmost importance for Shah Rukh Khan as it will mark the big-screen debut of his daughter Suhana Khan.
