The first look teaser of Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film, Pathaan was unveiled by the makers this morning on the occasion of the star’s birthday. While the promotional video has been getting positive response from the Bollywood audience, the South audience and netizens are commenting that Pathaan teaser has an ample amount of Prabhas starrer Saaho shades.
Reportedly, the action blocks and large-scale canvas showcased in the Pathaan teaser have a dose of Saaho texture, according to netizens. The ending jet portions in Pathaan teaser are highly inspired by Saaho which is clearly visible while watching. The major portion of the Pathaan teaser has an influence from Saaho which is now the reason behind heaping praises on Saaho director Sujeeth for his vision and convention towards action blocks.
Except for the poor writing and unengaging narrative, the action blocks in Saaho got unanimous reception from the action lover. It is not that director Siddharth Anand has no directional skills but his execution format has a heavy dose of inspiration from Saaho. Have to wait and see for two more months to witness how Siddharth Anand executed Pathaan.
Being bankrolled by Yash Raj Films banner owned by Aditya Chopra, Pathaan also stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham in key roles. The film is gearing up for Republic Day weekend release in 2023.
