On Friday, Shah Rukh Khan arrived in Lonavala at 4 pm to take part in Season 12 of the reality show, Bigg Boss, which Salman Khan hosts. His dost who had arrived early in the day and had already canned one episode greeted him with a jhappi and escorted him to his chalet on the sets. They were to start shooting at 7 pm but the minutes ticked away and neither Khan stepped out, so engrossed were they in ‘catching up’.

According to a source, they were to kick off the shoot with a fun act which had them travelling from Mumbai to Lonavala on a bike together.

“They would stop at Khandala for chai and banter before reaching Lonavala, where Shah Rukh joins Salman, as contestants take on each other in the akhada before getting a chance to chat up the special guest. The Khans themselves have a Q-&-A duel during which they reveal little known trivia about themselves,” informed the source, adding that the highlight of the episode were the two actors dancing to the tune of “Ishqbaazi” from SRK’s upcoming film, Zero, which has Salman making a special appearance in the song. The director, Aanand L Rai had revealed in an interview to Mirror recently that he had taken the idea of the film which revolves around a vertically challenged character to Salman first, but once the script was locked, they knew that King Khan was the right choice for Bauua Singh but bhai had sportingly agreed to do a cameo. Interestingly, neither of Shah Rukh’s leading ladies Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma accompanied him. Obviously, for Salman just having his friend back on the show was enough.
