Siddharth
Anand's
upcoming
directorial
Pathaan
is
one
of
the
most
awaited
releases
of
2023.
After
all,
it
marks
Shah
Rukh
Khan's
return
to
the
big
screen
with
a
full-fledged
movie
after
four
years.
He
was
last
seen
in
Anand
L
Rai's
2018
release
Zero.
And
he
is
set
to
make
a
comeback,
Shah
Rukh
had
undergone
a
massive
transformation
for
Pathaan
and
it
has
got
the
fans
excited.
In
fact,
the
first-look
posters
to
the
teaser,
everything
about
Pathaan
has
managed
to
make
the
headlines.
Clearly,
fans
are
waiting
for
Pathaan
release
with
bated
breath.
Amid
this,
Shah
Rukh
Khan
recently
had
an
interactive
session
on
Twitter
wherein
fans
were
requesting
the
superstar
to
postpone
the
release
of
the
movie
owing
to
his
wedding
festivities.
The
fan
wrote,
"Sir,
I
am
getting
merried
on
25th
Jan.
Can
you
please
postpone
Pathaan
to
26th.
That
would
be
great.
Thank
you".
Shah
Rukh
Khan,
who
wasn't
in
the
mood
to
change
the
release
date
of
Pathaan,
came
up
with
a
quirky
reply
and
said,
"Tum
shaadi
26
ko
karlo
(Republic
Day
parade
ke
baad)
chutti
bhi
hai
us
din
(You
should
get
married
on
26th.
It
is
also
a
holiday)".
Another
fan
was
also
concerned
about
missing
Pathaan
release
due
to
wedding
festivities.
The
fan
tweeted,
"Shaadi
tai
ho
gayi
26th
Jan
ko..
Kya
karoo?
#AskSRK
(My
wedding
is
fixed
for
Jan
26.
What
should
I
do)".
And
Shah
Rukh
once
again
left
fans
in
splits
as
he
replied
saying,
"Shaadi
kar
le...honeymoon
ki
holidays
mein
film
dekh
lena
(Get
married.
Watch
the
movie
during
your
honeymoon
offs)".

Talking
about
Pathaan,
the
movie
will
also
star
Deepika
Padukone
and
John
Abraham
in
the
lead.
The
Siddharth
Anand
directorial
will
mark
Shah
Rukh's
fourth
collaboration
with
Deepika
after
Om
Shanti
Om,
Chennai
Express
and
Happy
New
Year.
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.
