Siddharth feels Deepika is a true pan-India superstar and her presence in Pathaan makes the project supremely exciting. He says, “Deepika is a rare actor with a pan Indian appeal like no other and having her in a film, looking the way she is, is a huge USP. We wanted to cast someone who has an appeal across gender and age and there is no bigger star in India today than Deepika Padukone. We can’t wait to unveil her character in the film when it releases only on the big screen on Jan 25th, 2023.”

Given their hit films Om Shanti Om, Chennai Express, and Happy New Year, SRK and Deepika are among the most popular on-screen couples of all time. They recently made waves in Spain when Pathaan set images were leaked online and went viral. The famous couple filmed a highly anticipated song in Mallorca when SRK was photographed flashing an eight-pack and DP flashed her flawless bikini body.

On January 25, 2023, Pathaan will be released in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu!
