Actor-producer Arbaaz Khan has shared that the recently released film Pathaan was not only a much-needed blockbuster for the Hindi film industry, which was going through a low phase, but also for superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who had a tough time personally in the last few years. Shah Rukh’s last film, Zero, was released in 2018, and since then he had been working on Pathaan, which is a big-scale action movie.
During this time, Shah Rukh faced personal challenges as well, with his son Aryan being arrested in 2021 on drug possession charges. However, nine months later, Aryan was given a clean chit from the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB). The success of Pathaan would have undoubtedly been a great relief for Shah Rukh, especially given the challenges he has faced in recent times.
Overall, Pathaan’s success is not only a boost for the Hindi film industry, but also a positive development for Shah Rukh personally. During an interview with DNA, actor-producer Arbaaz Khan expressed his views on the recently released film Pathaan, stating that its success was ‘really important’. He also mentioned that the film was ‘deserving’ of its entertainment factor, and that it was perfectly timed.
Abrbaaz said, “More so for Shah Rukh (Khan), for all that he and his family have gone through in the last two years, I think this was a payback for the poor fellow. It was a very deserving, entertaining film and Shah Rukh was best in it. The audience doesn’t care what’s being written about someone… If you will allow a smooth release, they will come. If you create distress or vandalise theaters, then they won’t risk their lives for it. But if you genuinely want to know whether they will boycott it, they won’t,” he added.
Despite facing protests from right-wing groups upon its release on January 25, Pathaan had an extraordinary opening at the box office. The film shattered several box office records and has now become the biggest film in the history of Hindi cinema.
