Siddharth Anand on Shah Rukh Khan's comeback film Pathaan: Can’t make a misstep

Since the teaser video of Pathaan is out, it has been making a buzz amongst the fans and followers. To add to the excitement, SRK's appearance in the teaser was kept a secret, causing even more hype among fans. Siddharth Anand, the director, is now filming Pathaan in Spain, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham. 

In a recent interview with Mid-Day, the War director spoke about helming the picture, which is being billed as SRK's return flick after a four-year hiatus. While the virus was causing havoc, Pathaan is steadily approaching completion. Siddharth Anand admitted that the strain of delivering is high, but he enjoys it. Siddharth acknowledged that it is a lot of responsibility and said, 

"Pathaan has been designed as the biggest action spectacle from the Hindi film industry. We have the most-loved superstar of our generation with us. It is an honour and a responsibility for us. So, we can’t make a misstep at any point. We ensured that Pathaan’s date announcement video gave bang for the buck to the audience." 

Anand claimed that Deepika Padukone was always the first pick when it came to reconciling with Shah Rukh Khan. Anand, who has previously directed box office smashes like Bang Bang (2014) and War (2019), believes that Deepika's presence adds to the movie's excitement because the two had previously collaborated on hits. They also have John, who is unrivalled in combat. As a result, there is a great deal of pressure to create a great result. He enjoys the pressure and the suspense.
