Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan’s film Pathaan whose box office collection record broken by Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao Stree 2.
A day after breaking the record of Hindi version of ‘Baahubali 2’, Amar Kaushik’s horror-comedy has now become second highest-grossing Hindi film in India with a total gross collection higher than that of forthcoming Shah Rukh Khan release Pathan.
According to Indian media reports, Stree 2 grossed INR 527 crore at the box office within one week of its release.
After earning INR 10 crore on Sunday, September 8th, the film has added a total of INR 527 crores so far and is now India’s second-highest-grossing Hindi release.
The sequel to the 2018 film Stree2 is called Stree and it follows what happens after a great evil returns from her grave leading an entire village of men into war.
Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan has been provided with Y+ security by the Mumbai Police, including six armed security personnel guarding the actor around the clock.
The actor filed a complaint with the police and the Maharashtra government after two of his films, ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Jawan’, broke box office records.
This is not the first time the actor has been given death threats from the underworld. Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta recalled in September that the Bollywood Badshah was subjected to bullying during the 90s from underworld dons, but he continued making films. “Goli marni hai mar do, par tumhaare liye kaam nahi karoonga. Main pathan hoon,” Gupta recalled him saying.
Shah Rukh Khan is not the only star who has recieved death threats from gangsters. In June, a gangster who went by the name Goldy Brar, who took responsibility for the death of rapper Sidhu Moose Wala, told India Today that he will kill Salman Khan.
Goldy Brar, who goes by the name Satindeerjeet Singh, revealed that the ‘Tiger’ actor was being targeted for his involvement in the killing of the black buck, a sacred animal in the Bishnoi community.
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan was spotted along with his daughter Suhana Khan visiting Sri Venkateshwara Swamy temple in Tirupati on Tuesday to offer prayers and ask for blessings ahead of the release of his action thriller ‘Jawan’.
After Mata Vaishno Devi darshan last week, Shah Rukh Khan visited the Sri Venkateswara Swami Temple in Tirupati for a special darshan along with Suhana Khan ahead of Jawan release.
The news however was met with backlash from right-wing conservatives on social media. The extreme-right brigade condemned the Bollywood actor for what they said was using religious temples as props for movie promotions. Many accused the ‘Pathaan’ actor of making a mockery of religious places, calling for a ban on Muslim actors visiting Hindu temples.
“Seriously? Why are we allowing our temples to be used as publicity props by non idolators ?” one user wrote.

“Hindu temples are not places of tourism & publicity stunt. Such gimmicks must stop and Hindus must resist such Nautanki. If you wanna take the blessings of our gods & goddesses then simply accept the Sanatan Dharma & carry on with your Yatra & not Temple Run publicity stunts.”

However, Bollywood actors have commonly visited temples before film releases to offer prayers for its success. Vicky Kaushal had visited the Siddivinayak temple in June to offer gratitude prayers after his film ‘Zara Hatke Zara Bachke’ became a box office success. Akshay Kumar visited BAPS Hindu Mandir in UAE to pray.
Shah Rukh Khan has been vocal about his secular family, not asking his children to follow Islam or Hinduism.
“We have never discussed Hindu-Muslim. My wife is Hindu, I am a Muslim and our kids are Hindustan. When they went to school, they had to write their religion. My daughter came to me once and asked ‘what is our religion?’ I simply wrote in her form that we are Indian, we do not have a religion.”
Many praised the superstar for his massive respect for all religions
This is called a true Indian who respects all religions. Today in my eyes their respect has increased even more.

The recently released song “Besharam Rang” from the upcoming film “Pathan,” starring Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, is making rounds on social media.’
The song garnered a lot of praise, the hashtag #BoycottPathaan also started trending on social media.
The song is being criticised for allegedly hurting Hinduism by disrespecting the colours associated with it. Many extremists are claiming that the colours of the bikni Deepika is wearing in the video are disrespectful to Hinduism.
Indian right-wing activist Dr Prachi Sadhvi in a tweet wrote, “Ban This Movie in India.”
The Home Minister of Madhya Pardesh, Narottam Mishra, has asked for the makers of Pathaan to change the visuals and the costumes of the song, calling them objectionable.
“The outfits that have been worn in the song are objectionable. It is evident that polluted minds are behind filming this song. Anyway, Deepika Padukone has been a supporter of the Tukde Tukde gang when she went for the JNU protests and that is why, I would like to request that they should correct the visuals of the song, correct the costumes, or else the permission to release this film in MP should be given or not will be a thinkable question,” he said.
A major report in Indian media has unveiled that Bollywood actor Salman Khan rejected the blockbuster film Chak De India to not upset his fans in Pakistan.
Later the film was offered to Shah Rukh Khan in 2007 and the film turned out to be a huge blockbuster. During his interview with The Indian Express, he said that he does not regret not doing the film.
It’s no secret that Shah Rukh Khan’s 2007 hit Chak De! India was first offered to Salman Khan, however, what many might not know is that Salman rejected the film to safeguard his Pakistani fans’ feelings. Talking to The Indian Express in 2007 about the film which went on to become a major hit for SRK and filmmaker Aditya Chopra, the Dabangg actor said, “I don’t regret not doing the film but I agree that my judgement about it was wrong.”
The Ek Tha Tiger hero went on to list two reasons based on which he had rejected the film at the time.
“I had a problem with the climax. My reasoning was that if you lose to Pakistan then you also have to win with Pakistan. I also had a problem with the title. I wish they hadn’t added India to the title. I felt our fans in Pakistan and Bangladesh might feel bad.”
Chak De! India starred SRK as a disgraced hockey player who goes on to coach the Indian women’s hockey team to a world cup victory.
Salman has always greeted Pakistani celebrities with warmth.

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has a fine sense of humour and we often witness it in his interviews, public appearances and interactive sessions on social media.
After a long break, the actor recently held an #AskSRK session on Twitter during which he teased fans about his upcoming projects, gave some hilarious responses and shared some words of wisdom before going back to “doing more of nothing”.
Have 15 minutes before I go into doing more of nothing! Thought will spend it with you all and do a quick #AskSRK 3…2….1….go!
SRK, who has not been seen on the big screen since 2018 in Zero, told fans that he is working on his next film and that all his upcoming films will feature him.
“Bhai bana raha hoon…bana raha hoon,” said the megastar when asked when he will be seen on the big screen.
When a fan asked him when he will be announcing his next film, SRK said: “Announcements are for airports and railway stations my friend…movies ki hawa toh khud ban jaati hai.”
It is pertinent to mention here that on New Year, SRK, in a quirky video, had promised fans that he will return to the big screen in 2021. As per details, SRK will be part of the action-thriller Pathan, alongside Deepika Padukone and John Abraham.

Meanwhile, SRK also shared some words of wisdom, advising a fan to mix passion and stability and that age is just a number.
Passion normally doesn’t guarantee payment so one has to find a mix. A lots of passion and a good amount of stability. Don’t make it an either or choice….or mutually exclusive. Do a bit of both please https://t.co/jpH1GhACfu
Age is a number….work hard and it will all happen well. I started in films at 26 if that helps. Just don’t waste your years that’s all. https://t.co/9lcBqsY6yZ
The actor also shared that he has never been good at multiple-choice questions and that he hopes his Indian Premier League (IPL) team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) wins this year because he wants to drink coffee in the trophy cup.
Shah Rukh Khan is reportedly gearing up to perform a hi-octane action sequence inside the world’s tallest building Burj Khalifa. The stunt is expected to be part of his upcoming spy thriller Pathan.
According to reports, this is the first time a Bollywood film will be shot at the iconic building.
“The idea is to go one notch above what’s already done so far,” stated the report, quoting a source. “Apart from [Tom Cruise’s] Mission Impossible and the Fast and Furious franchise, not many films have been shot inside Burj Khalifa. Pathan will be among the first few Indian films (probably the first) to have actual visuals of the tower from inside.”
“A big-scale action scene centred around Burj Khalifa is in the offing from the team of Pathan,” added the source.
Sharing details about the scene, the report said: “It is a prolonged action sequence designed by an international stunt team, and one can expect spectacular visuals on the screen. It’s a culmination of [director] Siddharth Anand, [producer] Aditya Chopra, and SRK’s vision, to shoot a massive action scene at Burj Khalifa.”
“Don’t be surprised if you find SRK fighting on the top of the tower just like Tom Cruise when you watch Pathan on the big screen,” added the report. “However, all the details of this Burj Khalifa fight scene have been kept under wraps. It’s a car, bike, guns, blasts, hand to hand combats – get ready for action, that’s sleek and stylish.”
Featuring Deepika Padukone and John Abraham besides SRK, Pathan is being directed by Anand [Salaam Namaste, War, Bang Bang!]. Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan are reported to make cameo appearances in the film.
Pathan also marks SRK’s return to the big screen after a hiatus of more than two years. His last release was Zero in 2018 which was a commercial and box-office flop. It is also being reported that Khan is going all out for his upcoming film and was also spotted sporting a new look for it. It is expected to release at the end of 2021.
Last year in November, Burj Khalifa was illuminated to honour SRK on his birthday on November 2. The message: “Happy birthday to the King of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan” was displayed on the building with the song Dhoom Tana, from his film Om Shanti Om playing in the background.
Shah Rukh Khan, known for his wit and humour, recently released a short video in which he wished his fans a ‘Happy New Year’ and promised that he has a big surprise lined up for them in 2021.
The hilarious video begins with the King of Bollywood in a night suit fighting mosquitoes. Khan adds that had to record the video all by himself as he had no staff available to record it.
“Hi everybody,” said the actor as he started his video. “It is that time of the year again where the old year is on its way out and the New Year is waiting at the entrance. Actually, it has entered because I am late in conveying my wishes to all of you.”
Reflecting on the past year, the actor said: “I am sure 2020 has been the worst of years for everybody. In these awful times, for most it is difficult to find a ray of hope and positivity. But I have a way of looking at bad days, difficult times, and awful years. I believe when one is at the lowest, at the most bottom-est of their life, the good thing is there is only one way to move – upwards, higher to better places. So, 2020 whatever it has been is in the past now. 2021 is going to be bigger, better, brighter and more beautiful.”
Elaborating on the lessons 2020 taught him, SRK emphasized on how important it is to have your loved ones by your side.
“Real fun is with real people. Your family, your friends, your loved ones. All the friends and enemies you make virtually, taking sides or fighting against you online, is good fun, time pass, but it’s not for keeps,” said the actor.
Wishing his fans “happiness, joy and peace”, Shah Rukh joked that he sounded like a “cheap greeting card” while saying this.
He also requested everyone to be “romantic, emphatic, pragmatic, democratic, fantastic” in 2021 and not be “mathematic as it’s very boring and also very difficult to rhyme with the other words.”
Khan also gave his fans some advice on partying.
“Go party hard, but not too hard in moderation. Don’t get too drunk, don’t take off your clothes and run on the street, because chances are you’ll get arrested and even worse you will wake up in the morning and realize you have lost your phone and that really sucks,” said the superstar.
The Fan actor concluded his video with a promise.
“See you on the big screen in 2021,” confirming reports that his upcoming film Pathan is in the works.
Pathan, which marks SRK’s return to the big screen after a long break, will see him play a special agent. Deepika Padukone and John Abraham are also part of the film while Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan are expected to have cameos.
SRK was also recently spotted outside Yash Raj Studios in Mumbai sporting a new look for the film.
