On September 11, 2020, PeepingMoon exclusively informed its readers that Shah Rukh Khan and John Abraham are confirmed for Siddharth Anand's actioner Pathan. Produced by Yash Raj Films, Pathan will mark Shah Rukh's return to the big screen after a 2-year-long break. Now, in the latest development, a report of a leading daily has it that the superstar will begin shooting for the actioner that reunites him with YRF in the month of November. According to a source, the first schedule will focus majorly on Shah Rukh and will go on for two months. Deepika Padukone and John, who is the antagonist, are said to join the team for the second schedule in January next year. 

"The first schedule will be a two-month affair that will focus solely on Shah Rukh's portions, after which the unit will take a New Year's break. Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, who plays the antagonist, will join the second stint that is slated for January 2021. Like Siddharth's previous outing War [2019], Pathan will be a slick and stylish revenge drama. Since the film marks Shah Rukh and John's first on-screen union, Adi and Siddharth have etched out dramatic scenes featuring them. They have roped in action director Parvez Shaikh, who has worked on War, Brahmastra and Bell Bottom, to design high-octane fight sequences between the duo," the source added.

The source further added that Shah Rukh will be seen in stylish looks curated by Shaleena Nathani. Recently, Shah Rukh, who is in Dubai for IPL 2020, was spotted sporting long hair. "Shah Rukh will sport a stylish look with outfits curated by stylist Shaleena Nathani. Like Raees [2017] where he was seen wearing spectacles, this film will have him flaunting customised sunglasses," the source added. 

Reportedly, Shah Rukh might not announce Pathan on his birthday that is November 2.
