Hyderabad:The bond between superstar Shah Rukh Khan and Jawan director Atlee is marked by affection and mutual respect. At the Zee Cine Awards 2024, where SRK bagged the Best Actor award for his roles in Jawan and Pathaan, Atlee too was honoured with Best Director trophy. In a heartwarming moment from the award gala, Atlee was seen touching Shah Rukh's feet after being honoured with the Best Director award at the ceremony held in Mumbai on Sunday night.

As Atlee's name was announced as the winner, amidst the audience's applause, he humbly approached Shah Rukh Khan and touched his feet, despite Shah Rukh's attempt to dissuade him. This gesture was followed by an affectionate hug shared by the duo as the packed arena looked on.
