The actor Shah Rukh Khan discussed his most recent spy thriller, Pathaan, and thanked the fans for their support. On Monday, Shah Rukh acknowledged his fans and the public for bringing the Hindi film industry to life during a media appearance in Mumbai. He also said that he had "low confidence" and sometimes felt afraid.
Shah Rukh addressed the media saying, "Thank you for bringing life to the (Hindi film) industry. This experience has yet not sunk for all this. Thanking everyone for the film. Go to people who love you. I have millions who love me. God has always given me a balcony ticket. The film experience is an experience of love. It should not hurt anyone. I was low on confidence. I got scared sometimes."
He added, "We are all extremely grateful to the audience and media for supporting the film (Pathaan) so much in spite of the fact that there might have been things that would have curtailed the happy release of the film. There were times when we had to call people and ask them to please let us release our film peacefully. Film watching and filmmaking is an experience of love and I want to thank all the people who helped us release this film (Pathaan) for the people."
Pathaan made 542 crores in five days, making it the Hindi film with the "biggest opening weekend" grosser in history.
