Another day, another milestone for Pathaan. The Shah Rukh Khan-starring movie has been doing tremendous business at the box office and is demonstrating no signs of slowing down. The second week of box office revenues for the movie was enormous.
The movie saw an incredible rise on its second Saturday, clearly increasing by more than 60% from Friday, and was able to join the Rs 400 crore club in just 11 days. With this, Pathaan has surpassed Aamir Khan’s Dangal to become the most successful Hindi film of all time.
Every Shah Rukh Khan fan, as well as the Hindi cinema business, which has been struggling for the past two years, is praising Pathaan’s success. After grossing over Rs 725 crore globally, the Siddharth Anand-directed film is on track to outperform all previous Bollywood films in terms of domestic box office revenue.
Although the movie is consistently breaking box office records, numerous critics have now charged Aditya Chopra with reporting fictitious revenue. A small number of trolls, though, are criticizing the movie’s box office performance. However, Shah Rukh Khan recently responded to one of them on Saturday. So, let’s find out what happened:
Shah Rukh Khan reveals the reason behind Pathaan’s box office performance
In the midst of the enormous success of his film Pathaan, superstar Shah Rukh Khan was quite talkative with his fans on Saturday. The actor hosted another “Ask SRK” session on his Twitter account.
One troll questioned Shah Rukh Khan during the Q&A session about the Pathaan box office. Nevertheless, King Khan responded to the fan’s query in the most humble manner.
Taking to Twitter and using Shah Rukh Khan’s #AskSRK hashtag, a troll asked,
“@iamsrk #Pathaan ka real collection kitna hai? #AskSRK.”
Soon, his tweet went viral and became the talk of the town. Many people also reacted to it. While many of them praised SRK’s wittiness, others hailed his fandom.
Apart from this, Shah Rukh also gave a humble reply to his fan, who said that he did not like the second part of the film, telling him to watch other movies on OTT.
Koi baat nahi. Apni apni pasand hoti hai. Pehla half see of #Pathaan second half see some other film on OTT this weekend. https://t.co/Q6hgMVic9f
During another instance, when one troll tried to troll Shah Rukh Khan for portraying the protagonist in the film given his age, the actor gave a befitting reply to him.
On the professional front, Shah Rukh will most likely play an action role in the upcoming Jawan film by Atlee. He will co-star with Taapsee Pannu in Rajkumar Hirani’s Dunki later in the year.
