While King Khan had maintained an air of mystery about his comeback film, earlier, during an interview with Femina, Deepika while talking about her lineup of films said, “So, I immediately started with Shakun Batra’s film, which is a relationship story that we haven’t seen in Indian cinema before. Then there is Pathan, an action film with Shah Rukh Khan, next is Nag Ashwin’s multilingual film with Prabhas.”

Pathan also has Salman Khan making a special appearance which will make way for the third instalment of the Tiger franchise. With Pathan, SRK and Deepika have reunited for the fourth time while the superstar will be working with John for the first time.
