14 December 2022 (New Delhi): Fans were eager to see Shah Rukh Khan on the big screen for a long time. At the same time, when the actor’s film Pathan was announced, everyone’s enthusiasm increased. But when the first song Besharam Rang from the film, which is slated to release on January 25 next year, has been released, it has come under attack from the Boycott gang. People didn’t like Deepika Padukone’s look in Besharam Rang and are calling the song a copy. At the same time, now Malayalam superstar Prithviraj Sukumaran has given a statement regarding the film, which is in discussion.

At the same time, he also said that there was a time when the people of South were surprised that Bollywood has such a strong hold on the Indian and foreign markets. During this, Sukumaran described Shah Rukh as the savior of Bollywood. ‘It hasn’t been long before we’ve set the table and thought, ‘How are they doing it? How is Hindi cinema cracking it? How have they been able to open up such huge overseas markets? And that’s not too long ago. I’m not talking about the medieval ages. So I believe it is just a phase. There will be a big hit and it is probably Pathan.
