Pathaan Starring Shah Rukh Khan To Become The FIRST Hindi Film To RELEASE In Bangladesh In 52 Years!

‘Pathaan’, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham, will be released in Bangladesh on May 12. The Siddharth Anand-directed picture is the first Hindi film to be released in the neighboring country since its independence in 1971.

Nelson D'Souza of Yash Raj Films said in a statement, "Cinema has always been a unifying force between nations, races, and cultures." It crosses borders, galvanizes people, and plays a key role in bringing people together. We are overjoyed that Pathaan, which has done historic business around the world, will now be able to entertain audiences in Bangladesh!"

"Pathaan is the first Hindi film to be released in Bangladesh since 1971, and we thank the authorities for their decision." We've learned over the years that Shah Rukh Khan has a huge fan base in Bangladesh, and we believe Pathaan, our latest offering from YRF's Spy Universe, is the ideal first film of SRK and Hindi cinema to release in the country, representing Indian culture and cinema in all its glory," he added.

Pathaan became the highest-grossing film in Hindi cinema history, generating more than Rs 1050 crore at the global box office. However, the picture was embroiled in various issues prior to its release. Deepika's saffron-colored bikini was a source of dispute at the time. After the film became the biggest success in Hindi cinema history, Siddharth Anand claimed that SRK's comeback vehicle had silenced the anonymous voices vilifying the Hindi film industry by providing a superb film that entertained audiences worldwide.
