At the 28th Kolkata International Film Festival on Thursday, Shah Rukh Khan greeted Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan and touched their feet, to the delight of the audience. At the festival’s most recent opening, Mamata Banerjee, the chief minister of West Bengal, was joined by all of the performers. Mahesh Bhatt, the filmmaker, gave the actor a hug and a cheek kiss as he welcomed some of the gathered members of the Indian film industry.

Shah Rukh already has a unique link to Kolkata because he owns the Kolkata Knight Riders of the Indian Premier League, so it comes as no surprise that the chief minister asked him to the inaugural ceremony. Rani Mukerji, the actor’s regular co-star, joined him on the stage where the others were already sitting. When they visited the festival, Rani and Shah Rukh wore matching black outfits. She wore a black sari with a cream border, and he wore a black tux.

Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, directed by Karan Johar, featured Amitabh and Jaya as Shah Rukh’s parents (2001). The seasoned actor and Shah Rukh shared no sequences in the Ayan Mukerji film, although they both recently appeared in Brahmastra Part One: Shiva with Ranbir Kapoor. The next year, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham will co-star with Shah Rukh in Siddharth Anand’s Pathaan. The picturization of the song “Besharam Rang” in the movie has drawn criticism from several, including Madhya Pradesh’s home minister Narottam Mishra.
