New Delhi: Shah Rukh Khan is all set to return to the silver screen with Yash Raj Films’ action extravaganza ‘Pathaan’. The much-anticipated film, directed by Siddharth Anand, also stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham. The makers of the film adapted a different strategy and had released the music of the film before its trailer. Now the makers are all set to launch the trailer on January 10th.
A trade source revealed, “Mark the date. Pathaan’s trailer is being released on Jan 10! The teaser sent the internet into a tizzy. So, expect the trailer to cause a meltdown! The visually stunning trailer is a feast for big-scale action entertainer lovers. It has stunning action set pieces that will wow you when you see the trailer. Pathaan is a true blue theatrical event film and the trailer will justify that status.”
The source added, “YRF always wanted to launch the trailer two weeks before the film’s release. They wanted to build intrigue around the film and create more anticipation and hysteria for the trailer. They have done the needful. Pathaan has become the hottest film in a long, long time and it’s because of a clear strategy to delay the trailer so that there is frenzy around Pathaan.”
‘Pathaan’, touted as India’s biggest-ever action spectacle, is part of Aditya Chopra’s ambitious spy universe. The first song of the film, ‘Besharam Rang’ drew a lot of controversy because of the saffron colour bikini sported by Deepika in the song. The Hindutva activists across the country have raised objections to the dance sequence where Shah Rukh Khan is wearing a green colour shirt and Deepika is flaunting a saffron outfit.
SRK and Deepika are coming together after blockbusters like Om Shanti Om, Chennai Express and Happy New Year.
The film will release on Jan 25, 2023 in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
