Salman Khan Denies To Take Credits For Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Pathaan’; Here’s What Bhaijaan Said

Salman Khan, an actor, recently interrupted a journalist after he was given credit for Shah Rukh Khan's most recent film, ‘Pathaan’. ‘Pathaan’, which Siddharth Anand directed, set records and went on to become the most successful Hindi film of all time in terms of box office revenue. Salman, who made a special cameo appearance, made it clear that the credit for the action movie belongs only to Shah Rukh Khan and Aditya Chopra.

Following Aanand L Rai's’ Zero’ (2018), ‘Pathaan’ marked Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan's on-screen reunion. Salman Khan reprised his famous role ‘Tiger’ for a fight scene in the movie, earning him the title of "highlight" by many in the past.

Pathaan was credited to Salman Khan, who will appear in Rajat Sharma's ‘Aap Ki Adalat’. Salman is seen politely interrupting the host even before he could finish the statement in Hindi in a clip from the episode posted on Reddit. “They said Salman made Pathaan a hit…”

Salman commented, “Bilkul nahi, bilkul nahi sir. Yeh credit Shah Rukh Khan se koi cheen nahi sakta, Aditya Chopra se koi cheen nahi sakta. Shah Rukh ne bohot accha kaam kiya hai. Yeh sab fans, Shah Rukh ki film dekhne ke liye taras rahe the aur ek right time, right mauke pe yeh film aayi. I think it is the biggest hit of the Hindi film industry (Not at all. Nobody can take the credit away from Shah Rukh Khan and Aditya Chopra. Shah Rukh has done a really good job. His fans were waiting for his film and it arrived at the right time).”

Siddharth Anand, the director of ‘Pathaan’, previously discussed pairing Salman and Shah Rukh in an interview by describing Salman's reaction on hearing about his cameo appearance. Siddharth stated: “I told Salman to shout ‘bhaag Pathaan bhaag’ and told him to do it like ‘bhaag Arjun bhaag (from Karan Arjun).’ It wasn’t in the script. It was funny and I had to convince Salman to do it. It was so much fun.”

“Salman laughed. He said ‘You are not serious.’ I said ‘Yes I want you to do it’. He did it so well. He is like clay. He is so sweet and just needs love and pampering. He got a lot of that from me. He did exactly what I told him to do,” the filmmaker added.

Salman recently appeared in his Eid release ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’, but Shah Rukh just finished shooting ‘Dunki’ in Kashmir and arrived back in Mumbai on Friday. Later this year, he will appear in ‘Jawan’ as well.
