He was required to take SRK on a bike ride, but he admitted he wasn't very confident in riding. However, Ashutosh insisted that he ride the bike himself. Daya suggested that SRK could do it instead, but Ashutosh was firm. He explained that Shah Rukh's character was returning from the US and was unfamiliar with the village setting. 'Ashutosh, on set, is like Hitler. I eventually told him that I hadn't ridden a bike in a very long time, but he replied, 'No, I know you'll manage it. You have no option,'' he shared. SRK's initial doubt about Daya's riding skills SRK, observing him from the sidelines, seemed to sense his nervousness and asked if he truly knew how to ride. 'SRK was sitting right there, watching me. I don't know whether it was written all over my face or just a random intuition, but he called me by my character's name and asked, 'Mela Ram, will you be able to ride?' I said, 'Yes'. He then asked me to give him a ride,' Daya recalled. When the motorcycle started, it jerked up, and SRK was thrown off. 'I had let go of the bike and was shivering with fear. I was convinced that this was the end of my career. The entire atmosphere on set changed.' The Jawan actor was still healing from his previous injury and had a physiotherapist present on set. Daya was so terrified that he couldn't even offer a helping hand. SRK calmly stood up, placed a reassuring hand on Daya's shoulder, and said, 'I knew you didn't know how to ride a bike.' He then turned to the director and said, 'Ashu, let's take the shot.' However, Gowariker was visibly upset and cast a sharp glance at Daya. SRK defused the tension by taking the blame, saying it was his fault for losing balance.

Apart from this, Benedict Cumberbatch, who played the role of Doctor Strange, also endorsed the idea of Khan joining the MCU, acknowledging his talent and global appeal. There is no official confirmation on it so far. However, fans are keen to see Bollywood's Badshah entering the Marvel Universe. Shah Rukh Khan is yet to make his Hollywood debut. The actor has a huge fan base across the world, making him one of the compelling choices for the MCU. His recent movie, Dunki, was a box office hit, strengthening his leading figure in Indian cinema. He will next be seen in King alongside his daughter Suhana Khan and Abhishek Bachchan.
