Actor Salman Khan recently booed a reporter after being given credit for Shah Rukh Khan’s most recent film, Pathan. Pathan, which Siddharth Anand directed, broke box office records and became the most successful Hindi film ever. Salman, who made a special cameo appearance, made it clear that only Shah Rukh Khan and Aditya Chopra deserve credit for supporting the action movie.

Following Aanand L Rai’s Zero, Pathan represented Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan’s on-screen reunion (2018). Many viewers dubbed Salman Khan the movie’s “highlight” as he faithfully portrayed his iconic character Tiger during a fight scene.
Salman Khan was given the role of Pathan in Rajat Sharma’s Aap Ki Adalat. Salman is seen politely interrupting the host before he can finish the Hindi statement, “He said that Salman hit Pathan,” in a videotape of the episode posted on Reddit.
Salman responded, “Definitely not, definitely not, sir. No one, not even Shahrukh Khan or Aditya Chopra, can take responsibility for this. Shahrukh did a fantastic job. All of these fans have been waiting impatiently to see Shahrukh’s movie, and now it has finally arrived. This, in my opinion, is the Hindi film industry’s biggest hit. Nobody can take credit away from Aditya Chopra and Shahrukh Khan. Shahrukh did an excellent job. His followers had been anticipating his film, which arrived just in time).
In a previous interview with Hindustan Times, Pathan director Siddharth Anand discussed putting Salman and Shah Rukh together and described his shock after hearing Salman describe his cameo part. It wasn’t in the script, but according to Siddharth, “I asked Salman to shout ‘Bhaag Pathan Bhaag’ and told him to make it sound like ‘Bhaag Arjun Bhaag (from Karan Arjun)’.” I had to get Salman to participate since it was amusing. It was humorous.”
“Salman guffawed. You’re not serious, he said. Yes, I want you to do it, I replied. He executed it expertly. He resembles clay. He is incredibly lovely and only wants to be loved and petted. I’ve passed on a lot to him. He followed my instructions exactly.
Shah Rukh finished filming Danki in Kashmir on Friday, while Salman was most recently seen in the Eid release Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. Later this year, he will appear in Jawan as well.
