Shahrukh Khan annouces Pathaan’s digital release through a fun promo

Recently The King of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan had the biggest hit of his career, Pathaan. He made a comeback to films after about 5 years. Finally, Pathaan is making its digital premiere on Prime Video on Wednesday, March 22. The action film, directed by Siddharth Anand, released in theatres on January 25, and went on to become the highest grossing Hindi film of all time.

Shah Rukh took to his social media and shared a funny promo to announce the film’s digital release. The promo revealed the release date. The superstar was seen having a fun banter with comedian Bhuvam Bam in the promo.

The promo opens with Shah Rukh in front of the camera as Pathaan, altering the film’s dialogue slightly. Wearing a black T-shirt and pants, the actor said, “Aapni kursi ke peti bandh lo, kyun ki Pathaan aa gaya hain, sirf Prime Video par (Fasten your seat belts, Pathaan is coming on)…” The actor then gets frustrated with the lines he’s saying and tells Bhuvan Bam, who is a playing a writer, that they need to try something new. Film’s dialogues don’t work for promos like this.

Bhuvan’s suggestions doesn’t fit with Shah Rukh as he turns them all down for being very predictable. Taking matters into his own hands, he tells Bhuvan, “I’ll show you.” The actor then goes in front of the camera, and flexes his biceps and shows off his six-pack abs before simply saying, “Pathaan dekhiye sirf Prime Video par (Watch Pathaan only on Prime Video).”

Viewers can watch Pathaan in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu starting from March 22. The director had even hinted that there might be certain deleted scenes in the digital version.
