Pathan is going to release on 25th January, 2023. By the time this film releases, it would be 8 years since SRK hasn't given a Hit film.
His last Hit movie was Happy New Year which released in 2014 and was a Super-Hit at the box office. After that he did these films:
Dilwale: Semi-Hit
Fan: Flop
Dear Zindagi: Semi-Hit
Raees: Semi-Hit
Jab Harry Met Sejal: Flop
Zero: Disaster
We don't know if Pathan would be a Hit either so it could be a longer wait.
Has any Superstar in Bollywood history had a gap of no Hit films for 8 years? I remember Akshay not giving a Hit between Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi (1996) and Andaaz (2003), but that's still 7 year gap. SRK has beaten that record.
