War 2: No Shah Rukh Khan or Salman Khan Cameo?

Shah Rukh Khan has created a huge sensation at the box office with Pathaan. He made a strong comeback after 5 years at the box office with this movie and then Jawan, Dunki have also established his pull at the BO. But Pathaan and Jawan have been the only Rs.1000 crores grossers worldwide for Hindi, in original language release. 

Dangal collected Rs.758 crores gross in Hindi worldwide while Chinese version catapulted its collections to Rs.2000 crores with amazing run in China. Yash Raj Films, the producers of Pathaan, immediately decided to debut YRF Spy Universe with great belief in success of the film. Post the tremendous success, they wanted YRF Spy Universe films to be an annual affair with new and old additions. 

They have announced War 2 with Hrithik Roshan and surprisingly cast Jr. NTR in another powerful lead role. As the news about huge introduction episodes of both actors is going rounds, there is another news that is being reported. YRF Spy Universe films like Pathaan and Tiger 3 had cameos of both SRK and Salman Khan, in respective films. 

Now, many anticipated cameo of either actor in War 2 as well. As SRK is expected to spearhead the entire Spy Universe, many anticipated his cameo in the film. Also, War 2 director Ayan Mukherji directed SRK in a cameo for his Brahmastra. But the latest reports suggest that such a cameo is not happening at the moment. 

The makers want to preserve some novelty for upcoming big films planned and hence, they may not go with a full blown cameo of SRK as Pathaan until Pathaan vs Tiger or Pathaan 2 will go on floors, say reports.
