On behalf of the entire Bollywood Industry, I want to thank everyone for bringing life back to the theatres.”

King Khan who took a back sabbatical for the past 4 years shared his feeling he said, “The four years that I had no release had both and good phases for me, the good part was I could see my children grow up and could spend quality time with them. I learnt cooking as well during that time as I thought if not an actor I would end up owning a restaurant someday. My genuine desire when I work is that I want to make people happy and this time especially I could do that along with the people who are so close to me. Aditya Chopra and Siddharth Anand chose me during a phase when my films weren’t working at the box office they trusted me also working with Deepika Padukone has been spellbound. The 4 days of success have made me forget the 4 years.”

Deepika sharing her experiences mentioned, “We didn’t set out to break records we just wanted to make a good film. We had a splendid time shooting with this team, it’s such a lovely atmosphere to work in. The intention of making the movie was so pure and was only to spread the love” The actress recently visited the gaiety galaxy and shared her experience, ‘It felt amazing to experience this kind of world there was a feeling of a festive celebration in the air. When you work with honesty and integrity and you see so much love coming your way it all feels worth it.”

SRK added, “I was low on the confidence I was scared but I keep going because the weaker you are the stronger you become but everyone in this film has only wished this film to work for me” Opening up on doing Pathaan 2 Khan said, “ Whenever Siddharth Anand wants me to do Pathaan 2, I'll do it. If they want to make a sequel, it'll be my honour to do it,” Pathaan, directed by Siddharth Anand, stars Shah Rukh Khan in the title role, a RAW agent who teams up with Deepika Padukone's character to tackle a terror threat from agent-gone-rogue Jim, played by John Abraham.
