Shahrukh Khan's comeback project 'Pathan' is one of the most anticipated films of Bollywood at the moment. The audience response to the promotional material released so far has been largely positive and apart from Shahrukh, fans are also excited to see Deepika Padukone in this film. Judging by the teaser, it is clear that 'Pathan' will feature Deepika in her most glamorous avatar yet and director Siddharth Anand also believes the same.
He told IANS, “Deepika Padukone, apart from being a fantastic actor who has grown with each film, is also the hottest actress of our country. Casting her for the character in the film was as organic as it could get. She can be vulnerable and yet very, very sexy just effortlessly. So, when you have her in the film, you have to present her in a way that does complete justice to her.
The filmmaker further added that their goal was to make Deepika's character as glam as possible. He said, I wanted to present her in her most glam avatar ever. That became a mission for the team and me. So, for Besharam Rang, when she is in a visually stunning coastal town of Europe, dancing with Shah Rukh Khan, we decided to just maximise how hot DP could look on screen! And the result will be unveiled when you see this amazing song.”
'Pathan' is set to release theatrically on 25th of January, 2023.
