Fans gathered outside Mannat at midnight to celebrate Shah Rukh's birthday. They were greeted by a billboard carrying a personal message from the superstar. It read: “Thank you all for your wishes and love. Sending mine right back to you all.” The note was signed with ‘lots of love and a big hug’.
The display also featured larger-than-life visuals from King, Shah Rukh's upcoming film. Two dialogues, "King Akela Kaafi Hai" and “Darr Nahi, Dehshat Hoon,” were prominently showcased, turning the birthday gathering into an early promotional moment for the action drama.
