Another user took to Twitter to share screenshots from 'WAR' along with scenes from 'Pathaan' teaser and wrote, "Pura copy paste kar diya". For the unaware, Sidharth Anand also directed 'WAR' starring Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff and now 'Pathaan' featuring Deepika Padukone, John Abraham and Shah Rukh Khan.
A user on Twitter shared an old snip from the film 'Dus' featuring Zayed Khan on a bike dropping a bomb through the window of a car. The user's tweet read, "Every masterpiece has a cheap copy."
Some users also compared SRK's scene of taking to the skies with a jetpack as a 'cheap copy' of Prabhas' action-film 'Saaho'. Sharing pictures of both stars with their jet packs, a tweet said, "Saaho looks better than Pathaan. Saaho was directed by a short film director. It was his 1st movie."
On another scale, users even compared an emotional scene between Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan with Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif from the 'Tiger' film franchise.
Copy or not, the 'Pathaan' teaser has leveled up excitement among fans to another level. Directed by Siddharth Anand, 'Pathaan', produced by Yash Raj Films, the film is slated to release on January 25, 2023.
