Pathaan, starring Shah Rukh Khan, hit theatres on January 25. Fans of the stars from all around the nation are waiting in line to see the action film as the movie's popularity soars. At the wrap-up party for her next movie Emergency, actress Kangana Ranaut mentioned Pathaan. In a joint press conference with her Emergency co-stars Anupam Kher and Satish Kaushik, Kangana remarked that she hopes the action movie, which also stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, "definitely works."
Kangana stated, "Pathaan acha kar rahi hai. Aisi films chalni chahiye aur I feel ki jo hamare Hindi cinema wale piche reh gaye hain, har insaan apne level pe koshish kar raha hai (Pathaan is doing fantastic. I believe that movies like this ought to succeed. We've all been working to help revive Hindi cinema in our own small ways as it has fallen behind other film industries.)” “It (Pathaan) is a large film, created on a huge budget,” Anupam Kher added in Hindi.
Fans had been talking about Pathaan days before it was released, and advance bookings had skyrocketed. According to a PTI report, industry insiders predicted that the Shah Rukh Khan movie Pathaan will make between ₹45 and ₹50 crore at the box office. The Yash Raj Films production, which sees Shah Rukh return to acting in a leading role following his 2018 feature Zero, came out on Wednesday, the day before Republic Day, giving the Hindi movie an extra five days for its opening weekend.
