The trailer of Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming offering, Pathaan, is out, and, as anticipated, Salman Khan did not make an appearance. Neither did Hrithik Roshan’s Kabir, nor Tiger Shroff’s Khalid (from War), both of whom are expected to feature in the film as part of the production house’s plan of building a spy universe.

The trailer of Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming offering, Pathaan, is out, and, as anticipated, Salman Khan did not make an appearance. Neither did Hrithik Roshan’s Kabir, nor Tiger Shroff’s Khalid (from War), both of whom are expected to feature in the film as part of the production house’s plan of building a spy universe. Siddharth Anand, director of the action thriller that also stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, concedes it was a tough task to cut a promising trailer without giving too much away. “We were clear that we wanted to make a trailer that would only [create] buzz. So, we strategically made one that features the best moments of Pathaan. We were unwilling to even give a peek into the screen-stealing situations of the film.” While several fans showered praise on the trailer, others felt its action sequences were inspired by the Marvel franchise, Avengers. Meanwhile, leading man SRK earned praise for showering love on the team of SS Rajamouli’s RRR, which brought home the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song yesterday. “When your RRR team brings Oscar to India, please let me touch it,” he tweeted to Ram Charan, who features in the film that could make it to the Academy Awards this year.
