I have been very smitten by the teaser of Pathaan that I saw a few days back. In all honesty, I am eager to see Shah Rukh Khan back on the big screen after four years, but what is even more amazing is that he will be seen opposite Deepika Padukone. John Abraham is also a part of the film and he also is every bit impressive. The teaser has surely left the internet ablaze with the Siddharth Anand directorial. And looks like SRK has not just impressed us, but also Siddharth. Recently, the director shared that SRK has shown incredible dedication to preparing his body for the physically challenging action sequences designed for the film.

Before you read more, watch the teaser of Pathaan here…

He said,

Shah Rukh Khan has pushed his body to breaking point for Pathaan. So, all the love that he is getting for Pathaan’s teaser, he deserves all that and much more. I remember when I first met him on Pathaan, we discussed how physically challenging it will be for him and he was game from the get go and it shows on screen.

He also added,

He wanted the adrenaline rush and he wanted the audience to feel the same on screen through him. The way he built his body, the insane training that he has done to pull off the extremely dangerous stunts, the dangerous terrains and climatic conditions in which he has thrown his body to and the commitment that he has shown to give India its biggest action spectacle is incredibly commendable. The way he has endured all the pain to pull off the action that we had designed, is unbelievable. There is no one like Shah Rukh Khan and you have to wait to see the film to witness his intensity with which he has approached the film.

Pathaan is set to release on Jan 25, 2023, in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu and I can already not wait to see the film on the big screen.
