Dhanak, the directorial by Nagesh Kukunoor’s which released this week is about two children who set off on a journey athwart Rajasthan to meet Shah Rukh Khan. It’s a tribute of sorts to Khan’s fame.Meanwhile, Shah Rukh is nowhere to be seen in the movie.

According to the grapevine, “Nagesh was keen to have SRK make a guest appearance at the end of the film. But he was denied access to the star. Now that Dhanak is released, the team is keen to show the star the film, but he refuses to respond to their calls and messages”.

As per the sources said, “The team is at its wit’s end. They tried getting in touch during the shooting and after the film’s release, to no avail. It’s strange. Usually, Shah Rukh is very accessible to producers and filmmakers who seek his support. He has agreed to play cameos in the silliest of films just because he was asked to. Wonder what happened this time!”
