The trailer begins somewhere in UAE where a masked criminal, who is revealed to be John, blows a car. The trailer introduces John’s character as a terrorist who plans to destroy India. Then comes in Pathaan, the character played by Shah Rukh. The actor makes a banging entry fighting a bunch of bad guys, as he utters the dialogue, “Party Pathaan ke ghar me rakhoge toh mehman nawazi ke liye Pathaan toh aayega hi, aur patahke bhi laayega (If you host a party in Pathaan’s house, Pathaan will surely come to take care of the guests and he will bring firecrackers too).”
Deepika’s character is introduced as a soldier in the trailer who would be helping Pathaan in the mission against John. The actress is seen performing various stunts in the trailer.
It is full of action set pieces, heavy VFX and whistle-worthy dialogues. Helmed by War director Siddharth Anand, the film marks Shah Rukh’s return to the silver screen after a gap of nearly four years. It is the first of Shah Rukh’s upcoming three-movie lineup (The other two being Jawan and Dunki). According to reports, Salman Khan will also make a cameo appearance in the film.
