Siddharth says, “There is nothing more cool or sexy than a woman wielding a powerful weapon on screen. As a film buff, I have always loved women doing sick action sequences and so, when we got Deepika Padukone in Pathaan, we wanted to present her in her most badass self - a gorgeous, gun-toting, femme fatale spy that people have never seen before!”

He adds, “In one of the action sequences of Pathaan, Deepika wields the Gatling gun and you have to see the sequence to believe how legit she is as a bonafide action superstar! She steals the show in this scene and I’m sure people will cheer the loudest for her every time she does the action in Pathaan.”

Pathaan is part of Aditya Chopra’s ambitious spy universe and is set to release on January 25, 2023, in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
