The makers of 'Pathaan' avoided media interactions with the star cast ahead of the movie release. However, the film has turned out to be a massive success at the box office, and it has already made more than Rs 500 crore worldwide inside five days. Hence, it is no surprise that Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, John Abraham and director Siddharth Anand addressed a press conference on Monday. The event turned out to be a spectacle and the entire star cast looked in a good mood. Shah Rukh Khan was at his wittiest best, and at times, even John Abraham and Deepika Padukone could not hold their laughter. However, the cherry on the cake turned out to be the last quote given by SRK where he termed himself as 'Akbar', Deepika as 'Amar' and John as 'Anthony'.

Shah Rukh Khan preaches inclusivity
SRK likened himself, Deepika and John to “Amar, Akbar, Anthony”, the characters from Manmohan Desai's 1977 film. Preaching inclusivity, SRK said: "This is Deepika, she is Amar, I’m Shah Rukh Khan, I’m Akbar and John he is Anthony. We are ‘Amar, Akbar, Anthony’. And this is what makes cinema. There are no differences any one of us have with any culture. We are hungry for audience’s love. All these crores are not important. The love we receive, nothing is bigger than that,” said SRK.

Chemistry between Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika cannot be missed
During the event, the chemistry between SRK and Deepika was clearly on show. The 'Swades' actor also sang 'Main Agar Kahoon' for Deepika.

John Abraham says SRK never took a break!
