I cannot put into words how excited I am for Pathaan to release in just two days from now. Yes, I have been quite enchanted with the film’s trailer and I must say the Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham action-thriller is already heading towards being a blockbuster. Well, what’s not to like, the film is a visual spectacle with some fantastic songs and action sequences. Having said that, I am sure it has been an experience for the team, recently we saw, SRK and John talk about their characters, and today another video of Deepika has been released where she talks about her chemistry with Shah Rukh.
Watch Deepika Padukone’s video right here:
Talking about working with Shah Rukh Khan in several films, Deepika says…
Shah Rukh & I have been very lucky to have had the opportunity to work in some incredible movies starting with Om Shanti Om! I’m collaborating with my most favourite co-star Shah Rukh. We have a beautiful relationship and I think the audience always see that in the movies that we do.
Shedding some light on the chemistry they share in Pathaan, Deepika quips…
Well, he and I can both take credit for that. Again he was also on this intense diet and exercise. So, he and I can both take credit for the work we have put individually. But at the end of the day, it is the team that you work with. Whether it is the director (Siddharth Anand) and his vision or it’s the cinematographer (Satchith Paulose) and how he is envisioning lighting us, whether it’s the stylist (Shaleena Nathani) – how she envisions these characters, whether it is your hair and make-up team. So, it’s your entire team that sort of comes together, so sure you can put in the work and do the best you can but you also have incredible world class professionals who come in and make us look the way we do!
Deepika even spoke about the character she is playing in the film, she says…
The character that I am playing in this movie is extremely exciting, it is something that I haven’t done before and even the movie – just this kind of spy thriller, an out and out action movie is something I haven’t done before.
Pathaan is a part of Aditya Chopra’s ambitious spy universe and is set to release on Jan 25, 2023, in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. I am truly very excited about this one.
