Pathaan, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham, was one of the most anticipated films of 2023. The film was released on January 25, and it has received a massive response at the box office since then. In addition to Dimple Kapadia and Ashutosh Rana, the film featured a cameo appearance by Salman Khan. Pathaan, directed by Siddharth Anand, has hit the ball out of the park. The film made 69.5 crore gross on its first day, and 86 crore gross on the second day in India.
Siddharth’s previous film War, starring Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff, also managed to wow audiences and rock the box office. He has just broken his own box office and content record with ‘Pathaan’. Both films will be set in the spy universe created by Yash Raj Films. Salman Khan’s Tiger 3 will also join the universe. In a statement, Siddharth Anand said he is “incredibly overwhelmed” by the successful run.

According to Pinkvilla, He stated, “Scripting history…Everyone wants it, but one can’t plan it. It just happens. And when it does, it’s actually a very humbling experience. I’m feeling incredibly overwhelmed right now and inspired to get back on the film set and try and create something really special for audiences again. That’s my state of mind.” Siddharth further added that he now desires to direct more spy thrillers and action movies like Pathaan.
According to the sources, the Pathaan director said he believes cinema has no language. If the film movie connects and relates well with the audience, it can create magic. Siddharth continued, “I’m hungrier than before to create more spectacles and immersive experiences like Pathaan. For me, yes numbers do matter. It is a validation of all the hard work but film-making is also a team game. So, I share this incredible moment with the entire cast and crew of ‘Pathaan’. Each one of us believed in a vision to create a never seen before theatrical experience that cuts across the length and breadth of the country and I’m glad we delivered on this promise. With War and now ‘Pathaan’, we, the Hindi film industry have given films that have pan India appeal. I have always believed that cinema has no language. Cinema is about an emotion and if it connects with people, it can really go to dizzying heights and that’s what’s happening with Pathaan.”
At the end, Siddharth Anand said the success of ‘Pathaan’ is a victory for the Indian cinema. “Today is a victory for Indian cinema because we are all Indians first. It is such an exciting phase for our country that films from across India are making records, breaking records and most importantly entertaining the people of our country globally,” he ended.
