'My Respect For Adipurush Increased', Netizens Troll Shah Rukh Khan¡¯s Pathaan Teaser For Poor VFX

Shah Rukh Khan¡¯s upcoming film Pathaan held a lot of expectations from people who wanted to see him after four years since Zero was released in 2018. Even after so much anticipation, Pathaan's teaser doesn¡¯t seem to impress people on so many levels. From its uncanny similarities with Prabhas¡¯s 2019 film Saaho to its poor VFX, the internet has a lot to say about this film.

Shah Rukh Khan starrer Pathaan is an action-thriller film helmed by director Siddharth Anand. It is the fourth instalment in the YRF Spy Universe after Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) and War (2019). Also starring Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, Pathaan will be released at Republic Day weekend on 25th January 2023. See the teaser here:

Fans have taken over the internet to call out the makers for not focusing on VFX and that Adipurush had a better one than Pathaan. See their reactions:

Teaser was around 1 minute long and if the makers can¡¯t show good vfx scenes in those 60 seconds what will they show in a 2+ hour film?#Pathaan #PathaanTeaser https://t.co/4crfBr65fY

It wasn¡¯t that late that netizens also started noticing the teaser¡¯s similarity with Prabhas starrer Saaho and called it embarrassing. See some shocking reactions here:

At an event that SRK graced on his 57th birthday and soon after the teaser release of Pathaan, he spoke about the reason why he chose this film as a comeback for him.

The DDLJ actor said, ¡°I was told that I am liked when I do heroic films when I look physically good and can dance. I believe that when someone makes commercial films, we shouldn¡¯t add our own creativity to it, because we need to keep it simple, as it¡¯s made on someone else¡¯s orders. So I have to make a film that makes all of you happy, and all these three films (Pathaan, Dunki and Jawan) are what I¡¯ve never done before. I¡¯ve always wanted to do something like Mission Impossible, a cool action film¡ªI think Pathaan is like that.¡±

Pathan¡¯s director Siddharth also addressed that the massive expectations of fans with Pathaan had made him deliver the goods.

Anand told Koimoi, ¡°We had to make a unit that justifies their wait to see something of Pathaan as well as the fact that we have chosen his birthday to release the first big asset of the film! It had to be spectacular and memorable at the same time and I think we have managed to make them very happy, given the incredible reaction that we are witnessing for Pathaan¡¯s teaser.¡±

Post-Pathaan, SRK will also be seen in Atlee¡¯s Jawan, which will release in June next year. King Khan will give his third back-to-back film in 2023 with Rajkumar Hirani¡¯s Dunki opposite Taapsee Pannu in December of that year.
