Pathaan director Siddharth Anand on Shah Rukh Khan-starrer’s teaser: ‘The pressure to deliver was immense…’
The whole internet seems to be abuzz with superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s recently launched teaser of Pathaan, which marks the comeback of SRK to cinema after a sabbatical of four years. The actor had taken a break after his highly anticipated Zero tanked at the ticket counter in 2018.
Filmmaker Siddharth Anand, who also helmed the money-making War, shared in a statement that he is extremely happy with the kind of positive response the teaser has been getting. The director said that the notion behind dropping the clip of Pathaan on SRK’s birthday was to give the fans what they had been demanding whilst celebrating King Khan’s special day.

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.”
