Meanwhile, Pathan has been witnessing a massive backlash and boycott trend on social media. In fact, several Muslim and Hindu outfits have also demanded a ban on the movie alleging that it hurts religious sentiments. Reacting to the boycott trend, Shah Rukh Khan stated, "The advent of articulation through cinema and social media are forms of expression. A collective narrative of the times is shaped by social. Contrary to the belief that spread of social media will affect cinema negatively. I feel the other way, cinema will have an important role now. Social media is often driven by a certain narrowness of view. Somewhere, negativity increases social media consumption, increases its commercial value. Such pursuits enclose the collective narrative, making it destructive and divisive". He ended his speech by saying, "No matter what the world does, people like us will stay positive". Pathan is slated to release on January 25 next year.
