Director Ayan Mukerji took a trip down the memory lane and shared a moment he spent with the Badshah of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan.

Ayan had recently made his debut in Instagram and since then has been sharing BTS pictures from his upcoming film 'Brahmastra'.
Calling Shah Rukh Khan his inspiration, obsession, and idol, Ayan penned a heartfelt note, describing the joyful moments of his early career.
Sharing the picture, the filmmaker captioned, "Inspiration. Obsession. Idol. My single biggest love at the movies through my entire childhood and teenage years, leading up the highlight of my 2 assistant director experiences - Swades and KANK [Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna] - which was that I got to be in the presence of Shah Rukh Khan. And when I got very lucky, to be a stand in with him for blocking scenes (This photo is framed and put up in my house by my mother who considered it the height of my achievement obviously)."

Ayan also added, "The joys of those early years when I was an AD, fresh in the industry, interacting with everyone for the first time - sometimes I wish I could go back to the innocence of that time...
#lookingback #connectingthedots #SRKlove"
