Shah Rukh Khan's cameo disasters

Shah Rukh Khan's cameo disasters
Padma Iyer [May 12, 2008, 10:03:13 AM]

One shining bright face, which has been the eternal darling in the world of advertisements, movies, reality shows, and lately cricket as well, is undoubtedly that of the Bollywood Baadshah, Shah Rukh Khan, who has already taken entertainment to the next level altogether!

It has been time and again proven that he is indeed a Midas Touch man who pumps gold out of everything and anything he lays his hands on! But if you feel that he is Mr. Everything who can do no wrong, then think again, as even the moon has got a black spot, and SRK is a human after all!

It's true that SRK is the one-man army, whose mere name guarantees a film to be a superhit even before its release. After all, they do not call him the King Khan or the Baadshah of Bollywood for nothing!

But what is strange is that films in which SRK plays the main lead, have been mega hits, whereas the films in which he has done cameos, had the box office fiving them the thumbs-down sign. Simply put, his cameo appearance-movies have always bit the dust.

Here's presenting the 'Bestimonials', we mean, the 'Best of Testimonials' which stand proof to the above statement.

SRK did his first cameo appearance in Dushman Duniya Ka, directed by the late Mehmood. The film was about the protagonist Lucky and his drug addiction habit, which was penned in a hilarious and tragic way, but the film refused to jingle at the ticket windows and went hugely unnoticed, despite the fact that it had the 'Mega Star of the Box Office'. SRK's other cameo appearances in films like Gudgudee (1997) and Gaja Gamini (2000) were also major letdowns.

Next in line was the Samar Khan directed Kuch Meetha Ho Jaaye starring Arshad Warsi, Mahima Choudhary and Shah Rukh Khan in a special appearance. The film revolved around an airport. But again, Shah Rukh Khan's presence couldn't prevent the salvo's coming out as a damp squib.

Shakti - The Power, a Sridevi and Boney Kapoor production directed by Krishna Vamsi, showed a one-woman-army, Karishma Kapoor, fighting to get her son back. The makers might have sensed that the film had too much violence. Hence, SRK was brought in the picture to add some humour. He played a local Bihari boy who helps Karishma reach her destination and protects her from the goons. But of course, the biggest highlight of the film was SRK's performance on the track 'Ishq Kamina'. The song also had a special appearance by the ever-gorgeous Aishwarya Rai as an item girl. Unfortunately, the film was also a disaster at the box office.

Another cameo flop is Kaal, in which SRK did a first 'Item Number' with the original oomph-mati Malaika Arora Khan, before doing 'Dard-e-Disco' and 'Break Free'. Even though the song was a huge hit with sleek picturization, the film failed to click with the audiences.

These back-to-back cameo debacles don't end just here. SRK was seen in hunky Arjun Rampal's home production I See You, in which he was seen playing the guitar while Hrithik Roshan did his favorite dance stint, which has also refused to smile at the box office.

And last but not the least, who can forget the major fiasco of the recent times, which was called as Krazzy 4, a film that was hyped to the core, piggy-banking on SRK's item number! The film also had the super clash of the titans SRK vs. Hrithik Roshan, both of whom danced to the same track. If that was not enough, it also had the 'Item Queen' Rakhi Sawant. Sad but true, none of the three pillars could manage to help the film stand firm at the box office!

So, is it that SRK's luck doesn't favour his cameo appearances? The answer to this question remains a mystery. Though SRK's cameo roles haven't been able rub the magic on the films, he has always been a striver, least concerned with what will be the outcome.<
