However one song accompanied by a few comic scenes had been left behind.
Says a source, "Sajid wanted Shah Rukh to make an appearance in his directorial debut. After all, his sister Farah Khan has directed both her films with SRK in the lead.
When Sajid requested Shah Rukh to put in a guest appearance in Hey Babby SRK agreed without second thoughts. His only condition was that Sajid would have to wait until SRK returned from his family holiday in London."
The minute SRK returned to Mumbai he allotted the dates to the anxious debutant director.
SRK's comic scenes and songs with Anupam Kher were shot at Film City from Monday onwards.
Anupam and Shah Rukh had created a very special chemistry in Aditya Chopra's Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, Mahesh Bhatt's Chahat and Amol Palekar's Paheli.
Apparently Sajid has tried to create the same crackling and cackling chemistry in the Kher-Khan scenes.
Says the source, "The crew was in splits watching the duo's antics. The unit had a ball on Monday at Film City. Anupam and Shah Rukh added to Sajid Khan equaled a laugh riot. Loud laughter and grand guffaws kept emanating from the studio floors where they were shooting."
Interestingly this is Shah Rukh's debut in a Sajid Nadiadwala production.
"But," warns the source, "Shah Rukh did the film because of his long-lasting relationship with Farah and Sajid."
