- Siddharth Anand revealed that Shah Rukh Khan’s character in Pathaan does not have a religion.
- That he, Aditya Chopra, and Pathaan writers have the same belief system.
- In Pathaan, Deepika Padukone’s character asks Shah Rukh’s character Pathaan if he is a Muslim.
Siddharth Anand, the director of Pathaan, has spoken candidly about Shah Rukh Khan‘s lack of a religious affiliation in the movie. A deleted segment concerning the character may be featured in the OTT release, Siddharth further disclosed in a recent interview. Siddharth claimed that he shares “the same belief system” with Aditya Chopra, Shridhar Raghavan, and Abbas Tyerewala, who wrote the script for Pathaan.
Pathaan, played by Shah Rukh, is questioned by Deepika Padukone’s character in the movie Pathaan about his religion. He explained to her that when he assisted in the rescue of children in an Afghan village, he was given the name Pathaan.
In a conversation with Galatta Plus, Siddharth discussed the Pathaan religion “Abbas, Sridhar, Adi, and I work together in harmony; the four of us, not the three of us, are responsible. We share the same worldview as a group of four, as well as the same favorite movies from our youth that we still watch today. It is something we both agree on. He has no name, and the theater where he was discovered used to be called Navrang, but that name was changed and may appear in the OTT version.”
“None of us looks down on it, none of us says this is cheesy,” he continued. We all come in with, ‘Well that’s a beautiful notion and then he became Pathaan because of this reason and now he has no religion, he has only his country that matters to him’. Similar-minded people work together to boost one other’s confidence.
Siddharth talked about Pathaan last month. “I know we have pushed the envelope to offer a picture that has connected with people worldwide,” the news agency PTI said. I must now put forth more effort in every movie I do going forward. This feat is extremely unusual, so the entire Pathaan team as well as the entire Hindi cinema industry should cherish this moment.
On January 25, Pathaan, a Yash Raj Films (YRF) production, was released in theaters. Pathaan is a global espionage thriller that centers on the titular spy (Shah Rukh Khan), who emerges from exile to prevent terrorist organization Outfit X from attacking India. Together with Ashutosh, the film also features John Abraham, Deepika Padukone, Dimple Kapadia.
