Pathaan Is The First Movie Ever To Close Down The Burj Khalifa Boulevard; King Khan Reacts

The historical all-time blockbuster Pathaan from Yash Raj Films stars Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham. Pathaan is a never-before-seen extravaganza that meets Hollywood standards. The action sequences of theatrical action entertainment, have received universal acclaim! It is now revealed that the brutal fight between Jim and Pathaan in Dubai was made possible by the first-ever shutdown of the Burj Khalifa boulevard for a motion picture.

Director Sid says, “The toughest action to execute in Pathaan - one is on top of a moving train, one is mid-air with planes, one is in Dubai which takes place in the boulevard around the Burj Khalifa which no Hollywood film has been able to do this. To shoot this sequence in Dubai, just looked impossible. But the Dubai police and the authorities made it happen for us!” He added, “My friends who live at the Boulevard came and told me that they got circulars saying on this day between this time, you will not be able to access the boulevard so please plan your days. And they were amazed that - oh my god... that's for my film!” He continued, “I said I can't believe it and this wouldn't have been possible if they had not agreed to our vision and supported us wholeheartedly. So I want to thank the Dubai police and the authorities in Dubai.” Shah Rukh Khan said, "Dubai has been very, very kind to me and everyone who goes from Indian cinema. It is a heavy-traffic place so the production team called up and said, ‘we're shooting a sequence with Shah Rukh’. So they said, ‘he is our brand ambassador, please take this permission. Finish it off fast, but we will allow you to shoot there.’ I think Dubai is film-industry-wise, the most international film-producing nation. You have the best equipment, facilities, and location managers. So the experience is always wonderful to shoot in Dubai.” Pathaan is directed by Siddharth Anand. It stars Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham in the key roles. The movie premiered on January 25, 2023, in theatres. The movie has so far completed the 800 Cr. mark.
