Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan announcement receives a massive response; fans say – “Greatest comeback ever”

Only a King can turn an uneventful Wednesday morning in the month of March into a grand event with just one post on social media. Yes, we are talking about the Pathaan announcement dropped by Shah Rukh Khan. The YRF backed film is one of the most anticipated films as it marks the return of Shah Rukh Khan to the silver screen after 4 years. Khan was last seen in the 2018 film Zero and had not made any official announcement regarding his upcoming films until today.

On Wednesday morning, Khan took to his Twitter and Instagram handle to share a teaser featuring him alongside Deepika Padukone and John Abraham giving a glimpse into the world of Pathaan while announcing the release date of the film. "I know it’s late… But remember the date… Pathaan time starts now… See you in cinemas on 25th January, 2023. Releasing in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. Celebrate #Pathaan with #YRF50 only at a big screen near you," Khan wrote along with the video.
