Reportedly, SRK will start the shoot in November-end, and Deepika and John will join the film unit in January 2021. As per a media report, Shah Rukh Khan will "kick off the shoot of Siddharth Anand's Pathan at Yash Raj Films studios in Andheri by November-end". It also said that Aditya Chopra of Yash Raj Films wants it to be a "tentpole actioner".
"The first schedule will be a two-month affair that will focus solely on Shah Rukh's portions, after which the unit will take a New Year's break. Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, who plays the antagonist, will join the second stint that is slated for January 2021. Like Siddharth's previous outing War (2019), Pathan will be a slick and stylish revenge drama. Since the film marks Shah Rukh and John's first on-screen union, Adi and Siddharth have etched out dramatic scenes featuring them. They have roped in action director Parvez Shaikh, who has worked on War, Brahmastra, and Bell-Bottom, to design high-octane fight sequences between the duo,", a media source revealed.
Shah Rukh has been cheering his IPL team KKR and cameras have often spotted him in the match. And you must have noticed that the actor is sporting longish hair these days and fans are guessing that it is his new look for his upcoming film.
Reportedly, SRK has also joined hands with Tamil director Atlee for a project but the actor hasn't given a confirmation on that. It was also said that Shah Rukh will be seen in Raj Kumar Hirani's next one but that too needs to be confirmed yet.
