In an interview with Yash Raj Films, SRK shed light on the fact that he always wanted to be an action hero, not a romantic one.

He says, "I came to the film industry 32 years ago to be an action hero but I missed the boat because they made me a romantic hero instead. I've only wanted to be an action hero. I mean I love DDLJ and I love Rahul and Raj and all these good sweet boys but I always thought I was an action hero, so for me, it (Pathaan) is my dream come true."

Amid #Bocott Pathaan trend, the advance booking of Pathaan which releases on 25th January has begun with a great response.

Taran tweeted, “As you read this, #YRF commences advance bookings of #Pathaan at #IMAX [6 locations] and #4DX [1 location] in #Mumbai and #IMAX [4 locations] in #Delhi… And the response is T-E-R-R-I-F-I-C.” Other than SRK, this Siddharth Anand directorial also stars Deepika Padukone, John Abraham, Dimple Kapadia and Ashutosh Rana in lead roles.

Filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi whose upcoming film Gandhi Godse Ek Yudh clashes with Pathaan at the box office has addressed the fuming controversy.

He told India Today, “There should be no interference as far as art is concerned. What is wrong is that, without watching the film, if people are holding a protest, that is very wrong because of your vested interest, you are confusing the audience. Respect people. Let them go to the theatres and see the film and that is when you can take legal action if need be, and express your protest.”
