Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone’s onscreen chemistry is one of the biggest USPs of Pathaan, the upcoming film’s director Siddharth Anand said on Thursday.
“The onscreen jodi of Deepika and Shah Rukh Khan is probably one of the biggest pairings that Indian cinema has ever seen, given their incredible successes in the past. And in Pathaan, we have presented Shah Rukh and Deepika in a way that’s unprecedented,” said Siddharth.
“They have electric chemistry with each other and they look just so hot together. It’s rare to find a pairing like theirs and their jodi is a huge USP for Pathaan,” the filmmaker added.
Pathaan will also present actress Deepika Padukone in her “hottest and coolest” best and she will mesmerise the audience with her “sizzling” screen presence, Siddharth said.
“Deepika Padukone is up there with the biggest of superstars in the history of Hindi cinema. And we knew we had written a role for her in Pathaan that is not just breathtaking, but one that also justifies her superstardom. Pathaan will showcase her in probably her hottest and at the same time, the coolest self,” he added.
Pathaan, set to release in theatres on January 25, 2023, marks the return of Shah Rukh as a lead actor on the big screen after four years. Shah Rukh and Deepika, as an onscreen pair, have given blockbusters like Om Shanti Om, Chennai Express and Happy New Year.
