The two and a half minute-long trailer is high on action and even has a fight on ice sequence like Siddharth’s previous blockbuster War. As John Abraham’s Jim sets out to launch an attack on India, Shah Rukh ends his hiatus (just like his hiatus from films) to protect India. He also has an offer from Deepika Padukone, who calls herself a cop and wants Pathaan to join hands with her. Her blond wig in a scene cannot be missed. The power-packed trailer offers tons of action with several aerial sequences, nail biting stunts from all three lead actors and much more. This definitely looks like a ride to look forward to.

Shah Rukh Khan plays a RAW agent while John plays Jim. The film also has Ashutosh Rana as Colonel Sunil Luthra, Captain Abrar along with Gautam Rode, Dimple Kapadia, Siddhant Ghegadmal, Shaji Choudhary in pivotal roles. Pathaan has Salman Khan as well in a cameo as Tiger.

The film is produced by Aditya Chopra under his banner Yash Raj Films. YRF has also unveiled a new ‘spy universe’ logo with the Pathaan trailer. The logo will also feature in his upcoming film, Tiger 3. Shah Rukh, too, will have a cameo in the Tiger 3.

The logo will also feature in Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff’s War franchise in future. ANI had quoted a trade source as saying, “Aditya Chopra now wants to mark these films as a part of YRF’s spy universe in public consciousness and thus, the move to brand them in the form of a new logo that says Pathaan is part of ‘YRF Spy Universe’.”

Pathaan is Shah Rukh and Deepika’s fourth film after the latter’s debut film Om Shanti Om, followed by one of their biggest blockbusters Chennai Express and then Farah Khan’s Happy New Year.

Pathaan has been mired in controversies with the release of its first song, Besharam Rang. While it went on to be an instant hit for its catchy tune and glamrous appeal, some objected to the Deepika’s saffron bikini in the song. The title song Jhoome Jo Pathaan is also out and is a catchy dance number. The censor board has granted the film a U/A certificate after a few cuts and changes in the Besharam Rang song and the film. It will release in theatres worldwide on January 25 in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
