Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan trailer managed to cross 1 million views in just 19 minutes of release. It is trending through multiple keywords on Twitter. Directed by Siddharth Anand of War fame, Pathaan will be out in theatres on January 25. It will release in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. Pathaan is being touted as India’s biggest ever action spectacle that audiences have ever seen on the big screen. The visually spectacular Yash Raj Films’ action extravaganza, Pathaan, is part of Aditya Chopra’s ambitious spy universe and has the biggest superstars of the country Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham in it.
The trailer begins with a voiceover by Dimple Kapadia explaining a private terror group’s mission against India, spearheaded by John Abraham. To fight him, there is Pathaan, who has to end his ‘vanvaas’ (exile). Here enters Shah Rukh as Pathaan voicing some heavy-duty dialogues likes, “Party pathaan ke ghar rakhoge toh mehmaannawazi ke liye Pathaan toh aayega, aur pathaake bhi layega”. But the sad part, we only get to see the swag of SRK in just this one dialogue. Rest, all we get are some generic moments featuring John and Deepika. Salman Khan is conspicuous by his absence and it seems his cameo will be kept under wraps by YRF.
