SRK’s Pathaan all set for release, overseas booking opens

Shah Rukh is back on the big screen on January 25 when his spy thriller Pathaan will release in theatres worldwide. The overseas advance booking for the film have already started and initial reports claim that the response is phenomenal. Pathaan, an action spectacle, like most of Siddharth Anand’s films, is a part of Aditya Chopra’s ambitious spy universe, which kicked off with Ek Tha Tiger in 2012 followed by Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) and War (2019).

Being the fourth film of the universe, it will also flag off crossover of characters from one film to the other, and will eventually lead to a big-ticket multi-starrer finale, a la Marvel. Salman Khan has an extended cameo in Pathaan, in his avatar of iconic spy, Tiger aka. Avinash Singh Rathore. The release of Tiger 3 starring Salman with Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi will take forward the spy universe. This film, which will release during Diwali this year, will have an extended appearance from Shah Rukh’s Pathaan.

Pathaan also stars Deepika Padukone as the female lead, and John Abraham as the villain.  In a tweet releasing the trailer of the film, Shah Rukh wrote: Right vs Wrong, Good vs Evil – they are two sides of the same coin. Experience the epic clash of two brutal forces in Pathaan!
