Shah Rukh Khan Promotes Shirish Kunder's Joker

Akshay Kumar may be giving a miss to promoting Joker, headlining him and Sonakshi Sinha, but the Shirish Kunder directorial had an unlikely source to promote the film - Shah Rukh Khan.
Farah Khan was at Shah Rukh's home, Mannat, to talk about their new project Happy New Year when all this was put together.
"Farah had gone to meet SRK in the afternoon to discuss Happy New Year as he is leaving later this week for the shoot of Yash Chopra's untitled film. After a while, they started chatting about Joker and the aliens. Farah asked SRK if he wanted to see them, and he agreed. She made a quick call to the production house and told them to send the aliens to Mannat," an insider told Mumbai Mirror.
Shah Rukh never does things halfheartedly, as everyone knows.
"The aliens were spotted entering Mannat and SRK also did a fun video with them. Despite being busy with a photo shoot with Daboo Ratnani at Mannat, the actor did the video simultaneously for Farah."
An elated Farah, who is the producer as well the choreographer and has done a cameo appearance in the film, was touched by her pal's gesture.
"Shah Rukh is family and it was very sweet of him to take some time out for Joker," said Farah.
Joker will come out on August 31.
Given the fact that Akshay's wife Twinkle is nearing her due date, we guess it's understandable he wouldn't be as free as he normally is. Good thing SRK was available!
