The "Chennai Express" star, who will host the grand award night with actor Shahid Kapoor, was greeted with a loud cheer from his fans, who were waiting for almost three hours at the Venetian Macau.
"I am excited to be here," said Shah Rukh in a brief greeting to his fans.
Dressed in a white hoodie and denims, the 47-year-old actor sported a stubble while his sling was back to support his recent shoulder surgery.
Fans, comprising mostly Indian youth, cheered for the actor when he entered the hotel lobby. He was greeted with a song at the entrance of the luxury hotel.
