Written by Sneh Chaudhry on December 1, 2022
In exactly 55 days, superstar Shah Rukh Khan returns to the big screen with Pathaan. The much awaited comeback of the superstar is all set. The actor, who was last seen in Aanand L Rai’s Zero, will essay the role of a spy in the upcoming action entertainer. Pathaan is a part of Yash Raj Films’ 50th anniversary. Directed by Siddharth Anand, the makers have continued to enthrall the audience with posters. The first teaser was unveiled on the 57th birthday of SRK on November 2, 2022. As December approached, Shah Rukh Khan unveiled the group poster in various languages
Shah Rukh Khan took to social media on Thursday to unveil poster in four languages – English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. It features him pointing a gun whereas Deepika and John are in the backdrop holding guns as well. SRK is sporting long hair in the movie and it is featured on the poster too. He captioned the post as, “Peti baandh li hai..? Toh chalein!!! 55DaysToPathaan. Celebrate #Pathaan with #YRF50 only at a big screen near you on 25th January, 2023. Releasing in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. @deepikapadukone | @thejohnabraham | #SiddharthAnand | @yrf.”
Back in June 2022, Shah Rukh Khan had hosted a live session on his Instagram after completing 30 years in the film industry. While speaking to the fans, he said, “When we started shooting Pathaan, it was a lot of fun. It is an action film with wonderful co-actors Deepika Padukone, John Abraham and Ashutosh Rana among others. It is the kind of film I wanted to do for 30 years. I always thought of myself as somebody who can do some cool action stuff. So, I think my impression about Pathaan is that what I really wanted to do when I first came to Mumbai, hopefully I have achieved that in Pathaan as an actor.”
He admitted that he wanted to be an action hero in his 20s but is enjoying the process at 56 too. “I enjoyed it. It is fun having to do action. It is a little late (referring to his age). At the age of 56, I am being macho and solid, trying to make it work. Siddharth and the whole action team has put in a lot of hard work. Hopefully, it will work,” he smiled.
“I remember Siddharth narrating a lot of films to me. Unfortunately, we could not find the right time to collaborate for years. He had this title called Pathaan with him. And he would tell me that, ‘Sir, maine film ready kar li hai.’ One fine day, when we could not work on the two scripts he narrated, he sent me a sweet message, which read, ‘I have this title. I have not been able to get a film with you. Now, please take the title and make a film whenever you want,’” Shah Rukh Khan said revealing that Siddharth Anand came back to him with a new script. “The film has had a long journey. And soon, you all will be able to see it,” he said.
Pathaan is set to release on January 25, 2023, in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu!
