T-Series boss Bhushan Kumar to approach stars for special appearance in sequel to his maiden production

Yesterday, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan extended support to Anubhav Sinha’s upcoming directorial venture, Tum Bin 2, by tweeting the film’s teaser as soon as it was unveiled. But, if insiders are to be believed, there’s more than what meets the eye. We hear producer Bhushan Kumar plans to approach the two superstars for a special appearance in the film.

Says a source, “Bhushan donned the producer’s cap for the first time with Tum Bin (2001) and it went on to become a big hit although it starred newcomers. So, he wants to make the sequel as big. Getting Shah Rukh and Salman to tweet about it was not a random request; he has bigger plans with them. He will most likely get them to do cameos.”

Sinha chose to remain tightlipped while dropping some hints. “Bhushan has ambitious plans for the film. He is close to both the Khans, so, you never know, he might just be able to pull off a coup even though it may be for a cameo.”

Sinha mentions how Salman was the first “star” to congratulate him for the success of Tum Bin 15 years ago. “He called me home and we discussed working together. But, it didn’t materialise at that point. I have worked with Shah Rukh for RA. One (2011) and would like to direct Salman soon too. You never know what the future holds,” he winks.
