'Drishyam 2,' 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2,' 'Gangubai Kathiawadi,' and 'The Kashmir Files' were the only films to be financially successful. No one considered records when making Pathaan, according to Deepika Padukone. The goal was to get people back into the movie theatres and into a good time.

The goal was to get people back into the theatres to enjoy themselves. We had a nice time, she reportedly said, "We had a good time. Shah Rukh Khan taught me that it’s important to work with people you have a good time with.

The majority of the lockdown was spent with Shah Rukh Khan's children. After the failure of 'Zero,' according to him, he was written off. The film's box office earnings were only Rs 80 crores despite having a budget of over Rs 200 crores.

He said, "So, I thought of an alternate career: cooking Italian. In these four days, I’ve forgotten my last four years."

Shah Rukh Khan's return as a fierce spy thrilled fans. He has a distinct fan base for his action films like Don. King Khan paid close attention to his followers and complied with their requests. The film's director is Siddharth Anand. Salman Khan's appearance was the icing on the cake for the film, which also starred John Abraham, Dimple Kapadia, and Ashutosh Rana.
