• Siddharth Anand is opening up about how Pathaan was made.
• A funny moment in the film was improvised on set by Shah Rukh Khan.
• The line was left in after his co-star and director laughed at the improvised line.

Siddharth Anand, the director of Pathaan, is speaking up about the making of the hugely successful movie. The director revealed that actor Shah Rukh Khan made up a humorous scene for the movie Pathaan while it was being shot. Siddharth also laughed at the improvised sentence, thus the line was left in.

In the scene in question, which is set in Moscow, Russia, Pathaan, a character played by Shah Rukh, and Rubai aka Rubina, a character played by Deepika Padukone, are attempting to seize the “Raktbeej,” which their common enemy Jim (John Abraham), is also after. The two agents decide to enter the facility to take the Raktbeej even though they have paired up to cooperate. Pathaan and Rubina encounter a Russian woman en route, and when Pathaan gets overwhelmed in her company, he mispronounces the term “rubles” as “boobles.”

Siddharth claimed that Shah Rukh Khan was solely responsible for the line in an interview with Film Companion. He revealed, “One-liners come naturally to Shah Rukh. He has an extremely sarcastic sense of humor. The “boobles” line belongs to him, I’m afraid. Considering how he speaks, is it okay if I do this? I chuckled. Let’s get started now that I have laughed.”

A fan speculated in response to the footage posted online on Twitter, “So deepika’s reaction was real too.” It took me 10 minutes to process the exchange, a Twitter follower wrote. It will now take one day to process this information. Another supporter furthered, “KING KHAN for a cause.

“The movie is the ideal addition to this grandiose spy world, which has already featured Hrithik Roshan’s Kabir and Tiger starring Salman Khan. With numerous drool-worthy moments, director Sidharth Anand, who previously oversaw the action thrillers War and Bang Bang, once again presents his protagonists in the most glammed-up attire. Even if you don’t delve too deeply for a meaningful tale or logic, Pathaan has too much to offer, from Deepika Padukone’s clothes to John Abraham’s chiseled physique to Shah Rukh Khan’s CGI-enhanced six-pack abs.”

On January 25, the movie Pathaan—which also features Dimple Kapadia and Ashutosh Rana—was released in theaters. Salman Khan made a surprise appearance, reprising his role as Tiger from the movies Ek Tha Tiger (2012) and Tiger Zinda Hai (2017).
