‘Pathaan’, starring Shah Rukh Khan, John Abraham, and Deepika Padukone, continues to make history even four months after its release. The Yash Raj Films production, directed by Siddharth Anand and produced by Aditya Chopra, has become the first Hindi film to release in Bangladesh after 1971. The film is set to release on May 12 and is expected to represent Indian culture and cinema in its full glory.
According to Nelson D’Souza, Vice President of International Distribution, “Pathaan becomes the first Hindi film to release in Bangladesh post 1971 and we are thankful to the authorities for their decision. We have learnt over the years that Shah Rukh Khan has tremendous fan following in Bangladesh and we feel Pathaan, our latest offering from YRF’s Spy Universe, is the perfect first film of SRK & Hindi cinema to release in the country.”
‘Pathaan’ has already made over 1,050 crore gross at the global box office, making it the highest-grossing film in the history of Hindi cinema. It is also the highest-grossing film of YRF’s Spy Universe that includes blockbusters such as ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ and ‘War’.
The film stars Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham in lead roles. It also features a reunion of sorts between SRK and Salman Khan, who play super-spies ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Tiger’, respectively.
