King Khan's Royal Party

Shah Rukh hosted a party in his suite, which lasted till the wee hours of the morning; it had Hollywood's biggest stars in attendance

No one can quite throw a huge bash like Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan. And this holds true, not just in Mumbai, but also in Dubai.

Says a source, "After the launch party of Atlantis, The Palm in Dubai, hosted by international hotelier, Sol Kerzner (Chairman- Kerzner International) and Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, SRK and Gauri hosted a party at their Atlantis Bridge Suite (costs £14,000 a night)."

The source adds, "At the after-launch party, SRK and Gauri played host to some of Hollywood's biggest names like Robert De Niro, Gerard Butler, Mischa Barton, Mary-Kate Olsen, Kylie Minogue, Charlize Theron, Lindsay Lohan, Wesley Snipes, tycoon Richard Branson and some of SRK's close friends from B-Town like Hrithik and Sussanne Roshan, Arjun and Mehr Rampal and Farhan Akhtar.

The rocking party went on till the wee hours of the morning."

Says Shah Rukh, "Yes we finished at 7 am and had a great time.

I feel that I had to take care of the guests because Sultan (Ahmed Bin Sulayem), the owner of Nakheel Atlantis treats me with much love and goodness.

I personally invited all the guests.

Sultan gave me my house here on The Palms."

Shah Rukh is the owner of a 58 million-dirham Signature Villa on the Palm Islands at Jumeirah in Dubai and has acquired yet another apartment in the Shah Rukh Khan Boulevard, which he is developing in Dubai.

When asked if he had a chance to speak to Robert De Niro on cinema, Shah Rukh says, "No, we couldn't speak with De Niro about cinema because Hrithik, Farhan and I just couldn't stop smiling and behaving like mad fans but we had great conversations with the other actors, Wesley Snipes, Gerard Butler, Lindsay Lohan and singer Kylie Minogue.

All of them were so sweet, loving and cool. The Sultan was with his other guests.

There were hundreds of people."

Shah Rukh adds that some Hollywood stars are acquainted with Indian cinema.

"Though some of them have seen Indian films we were actually partying and having fun.

We hardly spoke about work and their perception of Indian cinema."

Other celebs including supermodels Agyness Deyn, Petra Nemcova and Yasmin Le Bon, musicans Janet Jackson, Lily Allen and Shirley Bassey, sports legends like Michael Jordan and Boris Becker were present.

The Royal Family of Dubai was also in attendance.
