For
The
Unversed..
Pathan
will
be
helmed
by
Siddharth
Anand,
who
recently
directed
Hrithik
Roshan
and
Tiger
Shroff-starrer
War.
Apparently,
the
film
will
star
Shah
Rukh
Khan
in
a
titular
role
of
a
rooted
massy
character.
Pathan
will
be
bankrolled
by
Aditya
Chopra's
Yash
Raj
Films.
Inside
Details..
A
source
close
to
the
project
told
Bollywood
Hungama,
"The
pre-production
work
is
going
on
in
full
swing,
with
the
action
board,
shooting
spots,
character
traits
being
discussed
on
a
day
to
day
basis
on
video
calls.
Shah
Rukh
Khan
is
all
set
to
commence
shoot
for
his
massiest
character
till
date
by
end
of
this
year."
What
About
Hirani's
Film?
Rumours
also
suggest
that
apart
from
Siddharth
Anand,
Shah
Rukh
will
also
collaborate
with
Rajkumar
Hirani.
However,
the
source
claims,
"He
was
to
commence
shooting
for
Rajkumar
Hirani's
social
drama
first,
but
Hirani
being
Hirani,
is
taking
time
to
complete
his
script
and
it's
a
long
way
to
go
before
he
starts
the
pre-production.
The
Hirani
film
will
arrive
only
in
the
second
half
of
2022
now."
When
Will
Pathan
Hit
The
Theatres?
Reportedly,
Pathan
makers
are
looking
at
late
2021
release.
"Sid
A
is
on
cloud
9
after
the
success
of
War,
and
Adi
has
entrusted
him
with
one
of
his
biggest
production
ventures
in
Pathan.
It's
a
script
loved
by
everyone
at
YRF,
and
it
also
has
the
elements
to
give
SRK
the
confidence
to
choose
it
as
his
comeback
vehicle,"
added
the
source.
