Shah Rukh Khan Unveils Pathan Teaser

Shah Rukh Khan will return to the big screen after four years with Pathaan, Jawan and Dunki. The trailer for his action-thriller Pathaan, which also stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, has been creating the buzz from the time it was released.

Now, acclaimed filmmaker Shekhar Kapur heaped praise on Shah Rukh and complimented him for such an amazing body. “How does #ShahRukhKhan?? continue to look so amazing ? .. he could give heroes half his age a run for their money #PathaanTrailer @iamsrk.”

Fans flooded the comments section of the tweet. One fan wrote, “Its Star Charisma. Superstardom (genuine). And passion. Many young actors (though they think they are ‘superstars’ after one hit) still dont have it. Never will. Shah Rukh Khan hone ke liye asli ‘Dil’wale hona chahiye… SRK jaisa na koi tha, na koi hoga.” Another fan commented, “Beautiful soul reflects on face and radiant by the love of millions.”

Director Siddharth Anand had earlier said that his team worked hard to ensure that both Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone looked different in Pathaan. “Just the fact that SRK (Shah Rukh Khan) and DP (Deepika Padukone) have done so many films before and fortunately all of them have done so well. It became a challenge to see how different they can look and our team really worked intricately to present them in a new way. The fact that DP is looking different from her films and SRK is looking different from his films automatically their pairing will look fresh, so that has been the approach we took and its amazing,” Siddharth had said in a video uploaded on YRF’s YouTube channel.

Pathaan will release in theatres worldwide on January 25.
