Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham starring Pathaan is breaking box office records globally and domestically. It’s an action drama under the spy universe that has featured a lot of high-quality action sequences between SRK, Deepika and John, and others. Now, fans have been comparing those scenes with Hollywood hit action franchises. Now, the director of the film Pathaan, Siddharth Anand reacted to the same. Scroll below to get the scoop!

Pathaan has been compared with James Bond, Mission Impossible, Fast and Furious, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As the YRF introduced the spy universe, the audiences have been thinking about whether they are creating Bollywood’s MCU or not.

In an interview with Gulf News, the Pathaan director Siddharth Anand addressed the situation of getting compared with Marvel. Talking about it, Siddharth shared, “I have to admit, I haven’t watched more than two MCU films. I’m not a fan of that genre. I’ve seen a couple of them. My son is a huge fan, and he’s an encyclopedia. He briefs me and keeps me up to date. I have to run my scripts and my sequences past him, and he’ll say, ‘No, dad, this is in that film. No, you can’t do this, this has already been done.’ I’m like, ‘What the hell do I do?’ So, I take ideas from him on how to manoeuvre things around. I think I should get on the bandwagon and start watching those films, so that there’s no overlap.”
