The makers of Pathan are yet to announce the film officially but it has already become one of the hugely anticipated films of 2022. Directed by Siddharth Anand, the film will mark the return of Shah Rukh Khan onto the silver screen after a long gap of four years. The superstar has not done any film after the debacle of his home production Zero in 2018.
Apart from the fact that Shah Rukh Khan headlines it, what makes Pathan highly awaited is Salman Khan’s entry in the film as Tiger aka Avinash Singh Rathore. From what we hear that both the actors will be taking on the Russian mafia in a crucial action-packed sequence, wherein Salman Khan makes an appearance as Tiger.
The makers have reportedly designed a special scene to introduce the Sultan (2016) actor’s character in the film. “Aditya Chopra and director Siddharth Anand have designed a special introductory scene for Salman in the film and it is sure to convert the cinema hall into a live cricket stadium. There is a proper build-up and urgency before he makes an entry as Tiger, hanging on a helicopter, up in the air with the Tiger theme playing in the background. It is a grand entry scene, followed by a prolonged 20-minute action and chase to defeat the baddie with SRK, who is trapped,” a source in the know informs an entertainment portal.
Apart from the reunion of SRK and Salman, Pathan has several other interesting highlights, including the fact that the makers have shot its climax on the top of Burj Khalifa with Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham. Padukone and Abraham play two other important characters in the big-ticket venture.

The Dhurandhar title track just hit the internet, and the noise around this spy thriller just went up a few notches. This is the track that pulls rapper Hanumankind into his first proper Bollywood playback moment. They have taken the old folk number 'Jogi' and built a power-packed version around it, a mix of earthy roots and straight-up aggressive energy that hits like a truck. It fits, honestly. It mirrors the film's whole gritty vibe and Ranveer Singh's battle-hardened look with that wild beard.

What is the Dhurandhar title track about?
You get a proper blast of the film’s atmosphere from this track. The music video cuts fast between shots of a heavily bearded and muscular Ranveer Singh, looking every bit the part of a hardened operative. The video cuts to the other big names in the cast as well. Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal are all there in what appears to be a tense, dark situation. The music includes traditional Punjabi folk with a stronger, cinematic rhythm.
How did Hanumankind get involved in the Dhurandhar song?
It turns out his involvement was a pretty organic, almost spontaneous thing. Music composer Shashwat Sachdev opened up about how the rap section came together. Apparently, it happened during a late-night studio session with director Aditya Dhar and Hanumankind himself. They captured an impromptu performance that just clicked, bringing what Sachdev called a "raw, instinctive fire" to the whole track. For an artist known for his independent work, this Dhurandhar feature is a major step into the mainstream film scene.
All this build-up is heading towards a definite date. The makers confirmed it right at the end of the title track video. Dhurandhar is locked in for a worldwide theatrical release on 5 December of this year. For those who need more than a song to tide them over, the official trailer is promised for 12 November.
