Deepika Padukone is locked and loaded in a new poster for 'Pathaan.'
In celebration of Deepika Padukone’s birthday on Thursday, star Shah Rukh Khan debuted a special poster featuring her character from their upcoming film Pathaan. A Hindi language spy thriller directed by Siddharth Anand, Pathaan serves as Khan’s grand comeback to starring roles after a gap of over four years.
Glimpses of Padukone’s lithe character were seen in the film’s teaser, as well as the two songs that were released previously. One of them, “Besharam Rang,” has become rather controversial after sections of the right-wing took offense to certain visuals, prompting India’s censor board chief to raise concerns about it.
The new poster shows Padukone’s character posing stylishly with a gun in her hand, and scratches on her face. She seems to be standing next to a cave entrance, looking ready for action. We'll get a better idea about her character when the film's first trailer drops, supposedly next week.
One of the most recognizable stars in the world, Khan went on a self-imposed sabbatical from acting after his ambitious 2018 romantic drama Zero bombed. Padukone is best known for the trio of hits directed by BAFTA nominee Sanjay Leela Bhansali — Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, Bajirao Mastani, and Padmaavat. In 2022, she starred in the dark relationship drama Gehraiyaan, and then appeared in a cameo in the recent comedy film Cirkus, starring her husband, Ranveer Singh.
Also starring John Abraham as the villain, Pathaan is said to be a part of a shared universe of spy movies produced by Yash Raj Films, which also includes the Tiger series, comprising Ek Tha Tiger and Tiger Zinda Hai, starring Salman Khan. Both SRK and Salman have reportedly filmed cameos for the upcoming third Tiger movie and Pathaan, respectively. The shared universe — which was put together retroactively, mind you — is also said to include the film War, starring Roshan.
