As Pathaan continues to find takers, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan have opened up about collaborating in director Siddharth Anand’s action thriller. Salman, who first worked with his Khan dost in Karan Arjun (1994), shared that a special film was required for the two actors to reunite on screen. Revealing that it was producer Aditya Chopra’s intention to play to the gallery and give the audience what they wanted from the two actors, Salman said, “Given how closely Adi has known Shah Rukh and me, he truly managed to capture how we are as personalities, in the scenes. Also, the way Siddharth executed the sequence and presented us was just brilliant.” Conceding that they always wanted to act together, SRK said, “We were waiting for the right film, and the right script, because we both knew that while there would be excitement to see us on screen, we would have to deliver that promise to audiences.” Adding that it was Aditya’s idea to bring the two spies from the production house’s Spy Universe together to do some high-octane action scenes, SRK summed it up saying, “I instantly jumped at it because it was delivering the promise of seeing Salman and I on the big screen. It’s too much fun with bhai on sets. I had missed being with him on screen. I am keeping the Tiger scarf as a memento!”
