Before the championship game, Wayne Rooney and Shah Rukh had a conversation about Pathaan and the game. Together, the two also struck his famous characteristic pose, which Shah Rukh quipped was modelled after Wayne Rooney. Wayne also questioned the actor about his role in the movie Pathaan while they were talking. He replied, “Pathaan is the guy you call last minute when you are all tied up and you can’t find a solution. 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.”
