On Monday, the first look was unveiled on social media.
Director Siddharth Anand says, “Deepika Padukone is a massive, massive star (I have to say it twice) and her presence in Pathaan makes our film even more exciting and grand. No one has yet seen her look in Pathaan and we are thrilled to present a glimpse of her in our action spectacle. Deepika has a fierce role that will blow everyone’s mind.”
During a virtual interaction last month celebrating 30 years in the film industry, Shah Rukh Khan revealed, “I just told them (Aditya and Siddharth) that I have not worked for a year or more, took a hiatus because I wasn’t enjoying the process of filmmaking, which is more important to me than the film itself. When we started shooting Pathaan, it was a lot of fun. It is an action film with wonderful co-actors Deepika Padukone, John Abraham, and Ashutosh Rana among others. It is the kind of film I wanted to do for 30 years. I always thought of myself as somebody who can do some cool action stuff. So, I think my impression about Pathaan is that what I really wanted to do when I first came to Mumbai, hopefully, I have achieved that in Pathaan as an actor.”
The hugely anticipated Pathaan, which is part of Aditya Chopra’s spy universe, has the biggest superstars in the country Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham.
Pathaan is set to release on January 25, 2023, in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu!
