Of course, they arrived late an hour at leastu00a0 but the janta didn't seem to mind the delay. The girls shouted out for John and seemed ready to devour him! There were cheers for Neil too who sang a line for his fans.
After a quick trailer, the stars came out to talk to mediapersons. More shoving and jostling as the cops tried their best to keep photographers and journalists at arm's length.

So, was the rumoured fight among the team true? Of course it was, said Katrina Kaif and "I was the winner as I'm the strongest," she added sweetly.
And what does Salman Khan feel about her calling Neil a sweetheart? She handled that one just as deftly: "We are all grown up people and sweetheart is a term of endearment."
To a question as to why a film on 9/11 was being released now, Kabir Khan said: "It still affects us veryu00a0 strongly. These are historical events and are not shortlived. These kind of events can change how we think."
At which point, Kat piped in: "Also, the film is not only about 9/11, it is about making a point."
John bares all
John's sexy smile and twinkle were intact all through the interaction with fans and media.
Especially when it came to talk on his posing nude in New York. "I have done a nude scene but I have also worn clothes," he said. (Well, John, you couldn't possibly bare it all throughout the movie now, could you?)
"Once you watch the film, you will not ask this question. As a director, Kabir has done his research and I have just followed the brief as an actor. It's a beautiful scene. So far, Bipasha has not reacted to it. I'm waiting for her to watch and tell me. I didn't do anything in my personal capacity, it's definitely not a frivolous nude scene, but was required."
As for his leg, he said, "My leg is still recovering from the fracture. It had become fine but someone stepped on it again."
Neil's blast
Neil, who has sung a song in the film, was quiet for the most part. Egged on, he said: "I love character-oriented roles. We are all playing characters you will fall in love with. Once you come out of the theatre,u00a0 you will not say John, Katrina or Neil was good. You will remember us by our names. We had a blast making the film too."
At which point Katrina and Neil looked at each other u00e2u0080u0093 one smiled and the other blushed.
