Shah Rukh Khan’s 'Pathaan' has broken many records at the box office and is no mood of slowing down. The film, also starring John Abraham and Deepika Padukone, has collected Rs 446 crore in India. Amidst this, La Liga posted a picture on its Instagram handle where they used Pathaan and Tiger's references. Luka Modric and Sergio Busquets, the two veteran midfielders of Real Madrid and Barcelona are representing the iconic roles of Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan.
"LaLiga ke Pathaan aur Tiger!", wrote La Liga.
Shah Rukh Khan was seen on the silver screen in a full-fledged role after four years. Barring cameos in R Madhavan’s “Rocketry: The Nambi Effect” (Hindi version) and Ayan Mukerji-directed blockbuster “Brahmastra Part One: Shiva”, the actor’s last full-fledged role before “Pathaan” was “Zero” in 2018.
During the media interaction, King Khan said that the overwhelming love coming his way for the film has made him forget the last four years when he was away from the big screen.
“I thank Aditya (Chopra, producer) and Siddharth… they gave me this opportunity. This is an expensive and time consuming film and to give me a film at a time when I was not working and allow me to be a part of the film, I’m very grateful to them. I have forgotten the last four years in these last four days,” Shah Rukh said had said in a chat organised by Yash Raj Films.
Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also mentioned the packed theatres of Srinagar without naming ‘Pathaan’ in his speech in Parliament. While addressing the changing scenario of Jammu and Kashmir, PM Modi said, "Srinagar ke andar barso baad cinema houseful dekhe gaye (After decades, cinemas of Srinagar went houseful)."
