Have to agree that we've never seen Ranveer out-pout KJo.
This Ranveer video is what Karan Johar was referring to.
Rustom himself was mighty impressed by Chhupa Rustom.
Thank u for the inflight entertainment @RanveerOfficial! Chupa Rustom was insanely epic!Never change#9DaysToRustomhttps://t.co/8nGzzEJzNp

Ranveer, never one to do anything by half measures, also posted this old picture of himself with Akshay.
It all began with Salman Khan's video message urging his fans to go watch Rustom.

Salman was, perhaps, paying it forward. Last year, his fellow Khans Shah Rukh and Aamir revealed the first look of his film Bajrangi Bhaijaan on Twitter.
In Rustom, Akshay Kumar plays Naval commander Rustom Pavri, a fictionalised version of K M Nanavati who was tried and acquitted for the murder of his wife's lover, leading to the scrapping of India's jury system.
Rustom, which also stars Ileana D'Cruz, will release on August 12, clashing with Hrithik Roshan's Mohenjo Daro.
