Helmed by Siddharth Anand, Pathaan, which was released on January 25, also stars Deepika Padukone in the lead role. Apart from “seeti maar” dialogues and high-octane action scenes, it’s Salman Khan’s extended cameo as Tiger that has made the film more special.

After a few years of tough phase, SRK, in 2023, made a grand comeback and let his work silence the detractors.

SRK returned to silver screen with Siddharth Anand’s Pathaan in January. In the film, SRK donned an action avatar and left everyone in awe.

The film broke several records at the box office and managed to grab a name in the list of one of the highest-grossing films in the Indian film industry. Remember the clamorous death knell tolling for the Hindi film industry all through 2021 and 2022? His film literally ended Bollywood’s dry spell at the box office.

Pathaan will always remain special for SRK and his fans as the film marked SRK’s first hit after his sabbatical of four years post delivering a series of duds like Zero and Jab Harry Met Sejal.
