After a long wait, the trailer of Shah Rukh Khan’s much-awaited film Pathaan finally came out on Tuesday. Helmed by Siddharth Anand, the upcoming action entertainer stars Khan alongside Deepika Padukone, with John Abraham seen as the antagonist.
While fans are on cloud nine after watching the trailer, there are some who could not stop comparing action set pieces of the film to Hollywood blockbusters such as Mission Impossible, Fast & Furious, and several MCU films. Additionally, the appearance of Abraham’s character looks like a cross between the Winter Soldier and Idris Elba’s villainous character in Hobbs and Shaw.
In one of the scenes in the trailer, Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone can be seen descending from a high-rise building by running on the walls with the help of a rope. This scene looks very similar to the ‘Scaling Burj Khalifa’ scene from Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol in which Tom Cruise crawls on the walls of the world's tallest building with the help of special gadgets and ropes.
The chasing-on-ice sequence just looks like a copy from the climax sequence of Fate Of The Furious.
In the trailer, we see Padukone performing a stunt that looks similar to what Black Widow has done to take on her enemies.
In one of the scenes, Padukone is seen as a platinum blonde walking in a tunnel. The shot reminded many fans of Halle Berry sporting a similar look when she played the Marvel superhero Storm in the X-Men films.
“Why does DP look like Halle Berry here,” wrote one fan. Another wrote, “Is it inspired or copied from Storm?”
Directed by Siddharth Anand, Pathaan is set to release on Jan 25, 2023, in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.

Perry's onstage quip about "Englishmen" felt like a deliberate signal.
Those yacht photos are, frankly, undeniable.
It started with a Montreal dinner most people missed.
Both are out of long-term relationships.
Well, she’s as good as confirmed it, hasn’t she? Katy Perry just tossed a verbal grenade into her London concert, and the pieces all point to Justin Trudeau. That line about Englishmen? You do not say that by accident. It lands just days after those, let's face it, pretty steamy pictures of them surfaced on her boat. This Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau thing is suddenly feeling very real, shifting from rumours to a full-blown celebrity romance.

So what did she actually say?
Mid-show at the O2, looking out at the crowd, she hits them with this: "London, England, you’re like this on a Monday night?... No wonder I fall for Englishmen all the time."
Pause.
Then came the kicker: "...but not anymore." The place erupts. It was too specific, too perfectly timed. And then, almost as if scripted, some fan proposes to her. Her comeback was: "I wish you’d asked me 48 hours ago." What is that, if not a nod to a new, serious someone?
Let’s talk about the yacht. The Daily Mail got those shots and, while grainy, the story they tell is crystal clear. The photos were taken off the coast of Santa Barbara, on her 78-foot Caravelle. He is pulling her in, kissing her cheek. His hand was on her backside in another frame. This follows that low-key Montreal dinner in July that almost flew under the radar.

Where does this leave everyone?
Right, let us look at the context. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom only finalised their split recently, with the co-parenting news coming out in July. Justin Trudeau’s marriage to Sophie Grégoire also ended last year. Both are prominent figures with busy lives who have only just become single. Sources are already saying he has been "persistent," flying to see her on tour breaks. It has the feel of something that is accelerating fast. And Perry, with that London comment, seems ready to let it.
