Recently, the superstar attended Jawan's pre-release event in Chennai. A clip from the audio launch, which was aired on Sun TV, has been doing rounds on the Internet. It captures SRK's heartwarming gesture when director Atlee brings his mother on the stage. Shah Rukh Khan bows to show his respect towards her and then shares a warm hug.

At the event, Atlee spoke about his journey in the industry. The director said, "I will tell you a story. When I was working with director Shankar for Enthiran in Mumbai. I was told by my friend that we were shooting outside SRK's house. He asked me to pose in front of the gate for a pic. After 13 years, the same gate opened and King Khan himself said, 'Welcome, Atlee sir'.”
Atlee also shared a photograph with Shah Rukh Khan from the event on Instagram. The candid snap featured SRK (in a white T-shirt and denims) and Atlee (in an all-black look) sharing a laugh. Take a look:
