Pathan will undoubtedly be one of the most anticipated films of 2022. It would be a type of return film for Shah Rukh Khan, as it was the first project for which he began shooting after his last feature, Zero (2018). Interestingly, the film’s producer, Yash Raj Films (YRF), has yet to disclose the project, despite the fact that it began filming precisely a year ago. Not just this film, but also their other future films, such as Salman Khan’s Tiger 3 with Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi, Vicky Kaushal’s next helmed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, and Aamir Khan’s son Junaid’s debut film, are yet to be formally revealed.

That’s because YRF intends to make the announcement as part of the esteemed production house’s 50th anniversary celebrations. The actors in these films have apparently been forbidden from speaking about them until the films are announced by YRF.
But, John Abraham, one of Pathan’s actors, revealed that he is really a part of the Siddharth Anand film. John can be heard reading some of the comments made by netizens on the trailer of his upcoming film, Satyameva Jayate 2, in a video released by an entertainment portal yesterday. While responding to a user’s comment about John Abraham’s naked appearance in the Milap Zaveri-directed picture, John opted to promote his upcoming flicks in which he will be featured bare-chested. Pathan is the name he adopts at this point. In Ek Villain Returns and Attack, he also reveals that he has taken off his shirt.

Pathan also stars Deepika Padukone in addition to Shah Rukh Khan and John Abraham. Pathan will also include Salman Khan in the role of Tiger. Prior to John, Salman was the only actor to confirm that he will appear in both Pathan and Tiger 3 films.
