Siddharth Anand, the director, is now filming Pathaan in Spain starring Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham. In a recent interview with Mid-Day, the War director talked about helming the picture, which is being billed as SRK’s return flick after a four-year absence. While the virus is causing havoc, Pathaan is steadily approaching completion.
Siddharth Anand admitted that the pressure of delivering is high, but he enjoys it. Recognizing the magnitude of the task, Siddharth Anand stated, “Pathaan has been designed as the biggest action spectacle from the Hindi film industry. We have the most-loved superstar of our generation with us. It is an honour and a responsibility for us. So, we can’t make a misstep at any point. We ensured that Pathaan’s date announcement video gave bang for the buck to the audience.”
To add to the excitement, SRK’s appearance in the teaser was kept a secret, causing even more hype among fans. Anand claimed that Deepika Padukone was always the first choice when it came to reuniting with Shah Rukh Khan. “Deepika’s addition makes the film more exciting as the duo have delivered blockbusters in the past. Plus, we have John, who is undisputed in action. So, there is pressure to deliver a cracking product. I love the pressure and the anticipation,” said Siddharth Anand, who has delivered box office blockbusuters like Bang Bang (2014) and War (2019).
