Shah Rukh Khan's Zero, which was released in 2018, ended up as a huge failure at the box office. Now, the actor is all set for his huge comeback, Pathaan. The film is produced by Aditya Chopra and directed by Siddharth Anand. Pathaan features Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham in lead roles. The film will hit the theatres on January 25, 2023.
In a recent interview, Shah Rukh Khan said, "Four years ago, I was feeling a little weak, injuries were there, surgeries were there, but I thought I should do something that I haven’t done before. I should get physically very fit. I told my friend Aditya Chopra and Siddharth Anand, ‘Ek action picture banao (make an action film)’. So, they told me, ‘sir, ye aap kya keh rahe ho, aap thak jaaoge (You will get tired)’. I asked them to at least try. I told them, ‘I might not be as good as Tiger (Shroff) or Duggu (Hrithik Roshan), but I will try my best’.”
He further added, "I was actually taking a break for just one year. I thought, ‘thoda rukta hun, physically fit hota hun’ (I should take a break and get physically fit). Zero required a lot of hard work, and then it didn’t work as well and nobody liked it, I felt bad. But then I thought I will do something which people like, bohot karli apne dil ki (enough of what I want to do). But I also wanted to do something which was different for me."
