It’s been a long time since we have seen SRK in a lead role on the big screen. It was 2018’s Zero, in which the actor played his lead role. Now, as King Khan is making his comeback, he and his fans await the box office destruction, with the hope that the lost touch is retained. The good news is, the magnum opus is off to a flying response in initial advance booking trends.
Speaking about the Pathaan craze, exhibitor Akshaye Rathi told ETimes, “The first-day collection of the film is likely to be 35 crores and it is huge considering it is a working Wednesday and I expect it to go beyond 45 crores on January 26.” He added, “While Shah Rukh Khan hasn’t had a release in a while and the last few that happened didn’t live up to the expectations of a Shah Rukh Khan film, one thing that can never be disputed is that his stardom has been built over three decades. A couple of unsuccessful films don’t shake that up. So, what you’re seeing right now is his fans coming back with a vengeance.”
