A sharply dressed, clean shave SRK arrived to the defeating roar of the legion of fans who had gathered outside the multiplex just to get a dekko of the superstar actor. And King Khan surely didn't disappoint. (Source: Varinder Chawla)

After waving and blowing his customary kisses to the fans outside, SRK rushed inside to attend the media conference. The actor chose to stand throughout the half an hour long press conference while offering seats to his senior and female co-stars. (Source: Varinder Chawla)

The entire unit of 'Dilwale' is said to have had a lot of fun as expected from Rohit Shetty's movies and that showed when they interacted with the media. There wasn't a single dull moment at the press meet as the team laughed, joked and shared anecdotes from the shoot schedules. (Source: Twitter)

Kids were a big topic of discussion at the press meet. SRK shared that his li'l son AbRam thought that it was because of Kajol that his father was bruised, Kajol on the other hand revealed that it was her daughter Nysa who convinced her to an entertaining film rather than her usual "crying" movies.

"Nysa was very happy. In fact, she convinced me. She was like, 'Mom you have to do this film' and I was like, 'Baby I'm going to be out of town, I'm going to go for this outdoor, I'm not going to spend time with you'," said she. (Source: Twitter)

Kajol makes us notice the 'D'. (Source: Varinder Chawla)

It could have been an 'Oops' moment for Kajol when she slipped on the stage and was about to tumble off as soon as Shah Rukh Khan made his entry. What could have been a disaster was deftly averted by Varun Dhawan, who held on to her firmly until she regained her composure. (Source: Express Photo)

And as a sporting person would do it, Kajol was laughing at herself after the mishap. (Source: Express Photo)

SRK, on his 50th birthday on November 2, had said there was "extreme intolerance" in the country. His comments snowballed into a political controversy, with a few ruling BJP leaders criticising the actor. However, at the trailer launch of their upcoming film "Dilwale", when reporters asked SRK to comment on the issue, he chose to remain non-responsive. (Source: Twitter)

However, SRK's co-stars Kajol and Varun immediately came to the "rescue" of the King Khan so that the media stops asking questions over the issue. (Source: Varinder Chawla)

"We are intolerant today...ask me whatever you want to ask," Kajol told reporters.

Varun said, "This is not the place to ask this. We are here to talk about the film." (Source: Varinder Chawla)

Varun Dhawan was even seen turning photographer for SRK as everybody looked on. (Source: Varinder Chawla)
