Mumbai: After casting their spell over Mumbai, Dubai and London, Shah Rukh Khan and his co-stars Kajol, Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon flew over to Delhi for the final leg of promotions. With just two days to go before their film hit theatres world wide, the stars cast attended a promotional press conference in the capital.
The film, directed by Rohit Shetty has been creating quite a buzz around town with its catchy soundtracks, intriguing video clips and of course, its stellar cast. At the promotional event, the stars were questioned about their film, their characters and all the controversies surrounding the stars and their film.
Shah Rukh Khan was recently in the news when an MNS affiliated political party appealed to the people of Maharastra to boycott the film because the actor didn’t donate money to help farmers suffering from drought conditions.

“It is a small thing. People stand on the shoulder of public figures to say what they want to… Somebody had told me years ago that if you have name, then people will talk like this. ‘Bahut saalon se naam hai’, mashallah, now it happens every week or month,” SRK told reporters.
“It’s strange that it happens around the release of a film. There are opportunist people… They try and speak. In our country, my experience is such that I get so much love from people…. I understand that these things don’t have any effect… Neither on us, our film, name or work,” he added.
'Dilwale', also starring Kajol, Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon, will see Shah Rukh doing some dare devil stunts but the actor says such scenes now need a lot of conviction. “It’s easier to do realistic films than larger-than-life scenes. It’s very difficult to get convinced at this age and I feel doing larger-than-life roles takes a lot of conviction.”
Being brought up in Delhi, Shah Rukh says it’s always feels good to be back in the city and he acts like a caretaker to his co-stars. “I come to Delhi as a caretaker to my co-stars. I take them to have chole bhature. Delhi is always fun especially in winters. It’s little cold and little hectic,” he said.
‘Dilwale’ releases this Friday.
