The Pokemon Go game has gone viral, and Bollywood celebrities have been bitten by that bug too.

Pokemon Go, for those who don't know, is an augmented reality game on the mobile phone. It has become a phenomenon and people can be seen literally going places, just to capture the Pokemons that seem to be all around them.

As always, trust Bollywood's filmmakers to bank on the new rage to promote their movies.

Take a look.

'This is quite close to how I would feel and then of course capture it!!!' Shah Rukh Khan tweeted, along with a hilarious video.

It's actually a scene from his film Kabhi Kushi Kabhie Gham, where he meets his onscreen mother (Jaya Bachchan) after many years.

Bachchan's face has been replaced by the Pokemon Pikachu and the video is captioned as, 'When you're searching for a rare Pokemon the whole day and then find a popular pokemon right behind you.'

Yes, the video is a *must-watch*!
