Pathaan is due to hit screens tomorrow, and fans are ecstatic. Shah Rukh Khan, John Abraham, and Deepika Padukone star in the Siddharth Anand-directed movie. The movie has fans incredibly thrilled as it is King Khan's first big-screen appearance in four years. As of yesterday, Pathaan had surpassed the previous record-holder, War, for the largest advance ever for a Bollywood film.
Pathaan had 4.19 lakh tickets sold by Monday midnight in the three major theatre chains PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis. Ajay Devgn recently wished for Pathaan's success and expressed his joy at the movie's enormous advance booking during the teaser premiere for Bholaa. In response to Ajay Devgn's warm words, Shah Rukh Khan has now praised Ajay Devgn.
Ajay Devgn and Tabu attended the Bholaa teaser premiere on Tuesday in Mumbai. Ajay Devgn discussed Pathaan during the ceremony and expressed his joy that the movie had broken box office records and received the largest advance ever for a Bollywood production. He stated, “When Drishyam 2 emerged as a superhit, I often told people that we need more such films that get similar response. The coldness in theatres that happened amid the pandemic made people want to come back more. Let's keep our fingers crossed. I wish whichever films release should be a super duper hit. The whole industry is one. Pathaan is releasing and the advances are humongous. I am happy from my heart and we all should be very very happy.”
Ajay Devgn's statement on Pathaan was brought up during a recent Shah Rukh Khan Ask SRK session on Twitter, which was moderated by the actor. King Khan responded to the video of Ajay Devgn wishing Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan all the success by writing that Ajay Devgn has always been a source of strength for him and his family. He tweeted,
Ajay has been a pillar of support and love to me and my family for years. He is a wonderful actor and beautiful human being. Strong and silent. https://t.co/gbDD1Zc2rm
