Talking about his and team's decision to unveil the action-packed teaser on SRK's bday, Siddharth said, "The craze for a glimpse of Pathaan has been unprecedented. After a long, long time there's insane buzz for a film that is genuine and organic. And it's all due to the super stardom of this one man - Shah Rukh Khan. His fans, and we are talking of millions of them, have been clamouring for just a peek of him and his film. And thus, there could be no better day to put out the teaser of Pathaan than SRK's birthday!" He added, "SRK, truly, has been ruling the hearts and minds of audiences for decades and Pathaan marks his return to the big screen after a gap of four long years. So, while we decided to surprise them all on his birthday, the pressure to deliver was immense."

For Siddharth, Pathaan is not just a film, it's an emotion. "We had to make a unit that justifies their wait to see something of Pathaan as well as the fact that we have chosen his birthday to release the first big asset of the film! It had to be spectacular and memorable at the same time and I think we have managed to make them very happy, given the incredible reaction that we are witnessing for Pathaan's teaser. For us, Pathaan is not just a film, it is an emotion as we are aiming to make the biggest action spectacle with one of the all-time biggest on-screen icons that Indian cinema has ever seen. The teaser is just the beginning to deliver on that promise on the big screen," he shared.

'Pathaan' will release on January 25, 2023.

As per recent reports, the 'Karan Arjun' duo is currently in talks with the producer for thea project that will cast both the actors in the lead roles. The film is going to be the costliest film in Indian cinema and details of the movie have been kept under wraps.

The 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' actors were last seen together in Anand L Rai's 'Zero' in 2019, in which the 'Sultan' actor made a special appearance in the film for the song 'Issaqbaazi', but it has been more than two decades since both the A-lister actors have collaborated for a full-fledged film. Shah Rukh once in an interview was questioned about collaborating with Salman and Aamir in the future. To which he responded, "If you can afford us... then we will.

But it is very difficult for all the three of us to work together, as we all have different working styles. But if a producer can afford us then we can see how things will flow." Recently, the 'Chak De India' actor had a live session on his Instagram, where he stated, "it's never a working experience with Salman, it's always a love experience, happy experience and love experience".

Senior film critic and trade analyst, Taran Aadarsh, on Twitter, shared the speculation about the collaboration of two Bollywood biggies in Yash Raj Films Biggest Project.

Official confirmation from the makers about the action thriller film is still awaited. The 'Don' actor will be seen in a guest appearance role in Salman-Katrina's 'Tiger 3', whereas the 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' actor will be having a special cameo in 'Pathaan' starring Shah Rukh, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, both these projects are part of Yash Raj's spy universe.

Meanwhile, the 'Raees' actor also has director Atlee's next 'Jawaan', which is slated to release in theatres on June 2023 and Rajkumar Hirani's next 'Dunki' with Taapsee Pannu on his bucket list. Salman, on the other hand, will be next seen in 'Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali' with Pooja Hegde, which is slated to release in December 2022.

Ranbir Kapoor says he wanted to become like Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan

Mumbai [India], July 1: Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan have had a profound impact on Ranbir Kapoor as artists.

Ahead of the release of 'Shamshera', the makers have been releasing the episodic RK Tapes on social media and in the second episode of a three episodic candid video series titled 'RK Tapes', Ranbir talked about his favourite Hindi film heroes. In the clip, he shared that he wanted to become Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan while growing up. "Main Amitabh Bachchan banna chahta tha, jawan hua, tab Shah Rukh Khan banna tha, aur finally Ranbir Kapoor banna pada (I wanted to become Amitabh Bachchan, when I became an adult, I wanted to be Shah Rukh Khan, but finally I had to become Ranbir Kapoor)," he said. Ranbir added, "Growing up, Hindi film heroes had become the heroes of my life. Everything I did, how I dressed, how I spoke, was subconsciously inspired by my heroes. But strangely enough, when I became an actor, I wasn't choosing the kind of films my heroes would choose. So I may have satisfied the actor in me. But when I look back at the 12-year-old Hindi film-obsessed Ranbir, I feel like uska sapna abhi bhi adhoora hai (his dream is still incomplete)." Ranbir is all set to play his first double role with Shamshera, which is scheduled to release on July 22. Helmed by Karan Malhotra, 'Shamshera', which is set in the fictitious city of Kaza, stars Ranbir in the title role of a slave, who turned into a leader to save his tribe. Sanjay Dutt plays the antagonist, Daroga Shudh Singh, who tortures people. Vaani Kapoor is also a part of the film.
