Man in black: Dressed in black denims and black vest and looking oh-so-sexy in that Jab Tak Hai Jaan/ Chak De! India stubble, Shah Rukh Khan has not only been sweating it out in front of Rohit Shetty’s camera for Dilwale in Hyderabad. Once the cast — comprising Kajol, Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon — pack up for the day, SRK goes from superstar to sports buff and picks up the racquet to play a spot of badminton with the crew. Dilwale, marking the reunion of SRK-Kajol after My Name Is Khan, releases on December 18.

The Saina effect: SRK’s partner may be no Saina Nehwal, but King Khan is a picture of concentration as he plays the game. World number one Saina — a resident of Hyderabad who has always been a die-hard Shah Rukh fan — did make it to the Dilwale sets to meet her idol a few weeks ago.
