A new update around Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan and Jailer 2 drew attention after reports claimed the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai actor had decided not to appear in the film.

According to Indian media reports, the makers had approached Shah Rukh Khan for a short cameo role. The plan reportedly included a brief shooting schedule of a few days. However, the actor did not move forward with the appearance due to prior commitments.

According to a Pinkvilla source shared, “The makers were keen to have Shah Rukh Khan onboard for a five- day cameo, and he was open to the idea. However, his current focus remains firmly on King.”

The report added that the actor wanted to maintain exclusivity for his upcoming film King. The film holds importance as it is expected to feature his daughter in a major role.

The source further said, “He has a certain look in King, and he doesn’t want to have the same in any other film before.”

Despite stepping away from the cameo, the report stated that the Dunki actor continued to have respect for Rajinikanth.

It was also reported that the makers of Jailer 2, directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, were aiming for an earlier release, while King was planned for a late date. 

Due to this difference in timelines, both sides decided not to proceed with the cameo.
