Bollywood baadshah Shah Rukh Khan to guest star on season two of American science-fiction series Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency.
Shah Rukh Khan may not have any plans of going to Hollywood (he’s not keen to pursue a career there) but he seems to be open to doing guest roles.
And he landed one such role for himself just because of his tweet.
SRK has been invited to guest star on season two of American science-fiction series Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency by the executive producer of the show, Arvind Ethan David.
Here’s the chain of sequence that led to SRK bagging the guest role.
Shahrukh, who was clueless about the TV adaptation of the popular novel, posted a picture of himself on Twitter writing, “Dirk Gently is a TV series!! And I didn’t know it! Woe be upon me. Sorry Adams. The pic is for no apparent reason.”

Khan’s tweet caught the attention of David (of Indian origin, and Indians are big fans of Bollywood and Shahrukh), who then gave an offer to the actor to guest star on the show.
Amazing to discover that @iamsrk is a #dirkgently fan. Come guest star in #Season2 https://t.co/XoIYVnSHb4

David, who probably didn’t expect Shahrukh to be a fan of Dirk Gently, was obviously excited and he even tweeted about it.
It's possible I got a bit too excited that #ShahRukhKhan likes #dirkgently — do you think he noticed?

David was finally relieved to see the acceptance from Shahrukh. SRK accepted the invitation as he posted, “Let me know the time and place. Will figure out my own accommodation!”

David was more than happy with SRK’s response and locked the deal with his tweet- “Done and done.”

We’re sure a formal agreement will happen in due course of time between the two. As of now, Shahrukh fans will be happy that their favorite star will share screen space with big Hollywood stars.
The show features Hollywood stars Samuel Barnett, Elijah Wood, Hannah Marks and Fiona Dourif.
