Did Shah Rukh Khan have a premonition about the crisis that has now befallen his family? How else do we explain the fact that he signed no films after 2018’s Zero for the next two years so that now when he cannot work there is only one pending assignment that has been affected by the crisis.

That pending assignment is the action thriller Pathan. Being directed by Siddharth Anand the film stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham alongside Shah Rukh Khan. Salman Khan, a close buddy of Shah Rukh , has a very special appearance in the film.

The film’s next schedule in Spain which was to begin mid-October now stands postponed until Shah Rukh is in a position to resume shooting.

Sources tell me all Shah Rukh’s co-actors have assured him that they will accommodate the next schedule of Pathan into their choc-a-bloc date diaries whenever he wants them to.
