Scroll. Screen. Action.
Pathaan movie star cast
Shah Rukh Khan & Deepika
With a star-studded casting, Pathaan brings back the hit combo of Shah Rukh Khan & Deepika Padukone. This will be their fourth movie together after giving hits like Om Shanti Om, Chennai Express, and Happy New Year. Shah Rukh will be playing the role of a RAW field agent.
John Abraham
Pathaan also brings back John Abraham & Deepika after a long wait of 10 years. Fans loved them as love birds in Desi Boyz & as Siblings in Race 2. If you loved seeing John in negative roles — Pathaan is going to be exciting. Yup! He is the main antagonist in the movie.
Salman Khan
If this star cast was not already too glittery, Salman Khan is set to mark a cameo entry as the agent “Tiger” — “Shikaar toh sab karte hain, lekin Tiger se behtar shikaar koi nahi karta”.
Ashutosh Rana & Dimple Kapadia
Biggies like Ashutosh Rana and Dimple Kapadia will also play important roles in the movie Pathaan. By the way, do you too love the deep-toned Rana’s dialogue delivery? He’s playing a colonel in the Pathaan movie 2023.
Shaji Choudhary
Lastly, not to forget, our very own Maqbool Khan from planet Mirzapur is also part of Pathaan. Jalwa Hai Inka.
Pathaan movie controversies
VHP & Bajrang Dal
There are two universal truths — the sun rises in the east & the ‘Khan’ movies make controversies ;)
Anyway, almost every movie these days causes some or the other controversy. People oppose the release of movies for various reasons, and luckily/unluckily Pathaan is in that zone where it is facing a lot of resistance (at least that’s what is apparent). And it is to the level that the Gujarat Govt. had to announce police protection to multiplexes for the release of Pathaan.
My undercover entertainment world agents say that VHP & BD are not happy with the use of the orange dress worn by Deepika (obscenity) in the song — they say it was purposefully done to disrespect the color Kesariya which is held auspicious within the majority community.
The song is titled Besharam Rang. The controversy was big enough to catch the attention of the Country’s supremo — Narendra Modi. He instructed his followers to keep away from making remarks about the movie.
Pathaan movie music
Pathaan has two main songs — Besharam Rang (of course), and Jhoome jo pathaan. It has a theme song too and an instrumental “Jim’s theme”. Kumar & Vishal Dadlani are the main guys behind the Lyrics. Vishal Shekhar & the Balhara duo have given music to the Pathaan songs. And the likes of Arijit Singh & Sukriti Kakar (Jhoome jo Pathaan ), Vishal, Shekhar, Shilpa, Caralisa (Besharam Rang) have given their voice.
Pathaan Movie Budget
Big star cast, big budget! Pathaan is made on a budget of INR 250 crores. To be a box office hit, it must make a minimum of INR 300 crores. Which is not a big target considering the star cast.
Movie plot or storyline
The main antagonist of the movie Pathaan is played by John Abraham (aka Jim) — who is leading a mission of the terrorist organization “Outfit X” to terrorize India with massive attacks. The lead hero (Shah Rukh) is brought back from exile to stop Jim. Deepika is observed assisting Pathaan in the mission against Jim.
