New Delhi: The response to Shah Rukh Khan's comeback movie 'Pathaan' has been overwhelmingly positive, and it is breaking box office records. The spy thriller has surpassed the Rs 100 crore mark just two days of its release.
While the actor is being cheered by fans for his on-screen performance, SRK is getting plaudits for an old video that has gone viral on the internet. In a clip that has been shared by a Twitter user, who goes by the name @_nehruvian, the superstar is seen talking about his multi-religious upbringing.
In a video clip, Shah Rukh Khan discusses his conviction that all religions are fundamentally the very same. The actor, who attended a Catholic school and was raised in a Muslim family, explains his perspective on religion. He remarked how he thought it was strange that people would argue about something like this when "it's all the same."

Shah Rukh Khan's fans are gushing with love for his remarks about appreciating all religions and saying that they are inherently identical. Here is what people are saying on Twitter:
In a previous interview with NDTV from 2015, SRK made the argument that if we continued to focus so much on religion, we would regress to the dark times. He talked on how the accessibility of new channels, such as social media, has made intolerance worse because older viewpoints couldn't be heard as clearly. Due to this, they are forced to use greater tact and tolerance when speaking.
Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan’s 'Pathaan', which premiered on January 25, has reportedly made approximately Rs 70 crore on its second day of release. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the figures are in the range of Rs 65–70 crore nett, putting the movie's overall two-day earnings over Rs 120 crore.
Directed by Siddharth Anand, 'Pathaan' also stars Deepika Padukone, John Abraham, Dimple Kapadia and Ashutosh Rana in pivotal roles.
