- SRK promoted Pathaan in Qatar.
- The film will debut in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu on January 25, 2023.
- Wayne Rooney met Bollywood’s Baadshah, Shah Rukh Khan, to discuss the FIFA WC final.
Some think it’s a Bollywood scenario, but it’s far more interesting than that. Wayne Rooney met Bollywood’s Baadshah, Shah Rukh Khan, to discuss the FIFA WC final and Khan’s action-thriller flick Pathaan.
SRK promoted Pathaan in Qatar. Wayne questioned Kal Ho Na Ho’s actor, “Who is Pathaan? Is he similar to anyone in football?”
In response to Wayne’s question, “I’m not saying this because you are here, honestly I will tell you who Pathaan is. Pathaan is the guy you call last minute when you are all tied up and you can’t find a solution.”
Khan compared his forthcoming character to Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney.
Don actor, “For me, if you don’t mind me saying, if Pathaan is to be equated to any footballer in the world, before or after or later, it will always be you. You are the tough guy. You can’t get a goal and you know the guy who is going to get it for you when you are in trouble, when you need a break, when you need a victory, who are you going to call? ‘Mr Wayne Rooney’.”
Wayne learned SRK’s iconic posture with a smile and laughs after the men discussed Khan’s future film. Rooney finally nailed the legendary DDLJ embrace pose.
Fans shared their appreciation for Khan and Rooney on social media. Some found this promotional stunt cringe-worthy.

I never thought I’d ever see Wayne Rooney doing Shah Rukh Khan’s classic lean back.
Another reason why this World Cup slapped harder than any other.

What a shame @JioCinema . Try to bring quality discussions about Football, rather than forcing renowned athletes into cheap steps for increasing the viewership. This is just a disgrace to the Global sport and the fans who got exposure from Football League matches discussion.

Yesterday in pre-match show they were discussing cricket. Today they were promoting "Pathan". Ppl tune in early to get some expert insights not to watch some random theatrics 😤
