Pathaan is being loved not just for the ensemble cast, music, action, patriotism, or performances of SRK, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham, but also for some unexpected and interesting Easter eggs that some of the moviegoers may not have noticed while watching the film.
Some of the scenes in Pathaan are related to past films of YRF (Yash Raj Films) spy universe. Indiatimes has churned out these hidden Easter Eggs from Pathaan only or you.
- Tu Hai Meri 'Karen' - There's one hilarious scene wherein SRK infiltrates the bedroom of a Russian woman named Karen to steal. Karen possesses the key to a safe where 'rakht beej' is kept, in Moscow's Woskwich Tower. She was supposed to be fast asleep after unknowingly taking sleeping pills, however, she wasn't. And when Pathaan (SRK) is taking her fingerprints, she wakes up leaving him shocked. At that moment, SRK croons the iconic song Tu Hai Meri Kiran from Darr (1993), and mouths his iconic dialogue K-K-K-K-Kiran." But he replaces Kiran with Karen.

- In another scene, Pathaan and Rubina (played by Deepika Padukone) can be seen discussing how to steal 'rakht beej' when Pathaan says '7 din Rakht beej in'. This dialogue is inspired by the '6 din ladki in' sequence from SRK's 2003 film Kal Ho Naa Ho, which featured Preity Zinta and Saif Ali Khan alongside the superstar.
- At one point in the film, Salman Khan, who plays an extended cameo can be heard screaming 'Bhaag Pathaan Bhaag' which seems to be a reference from their film Karan Arjun, wherein Salman says 'Bhaag Arjun Bhaag.'
- Pathaan even mentions the famous number of War (2019), 'Ghungroo Toot Gaye' in his entry scene. Interestingly, the film War was also a part of YRF Spy Universe. It stars Hrithik Roshan, Tiger Shroff, and Vaani Kapoor in the lead roles. Even Colonel Luthra (played by actor Ashutosh Rana) drops Hrithik's Kabir several times referring to a connection with War.
- John Abhraham's character Jim taunts the RAW and ISI about romances between their spies towards the end of the film name-dropping Tiger and Zoya reference to Salman Khan's film 'Ek Tha Tiger'.
