PVR CEO Kamal Gianchandani shared on Twitter that the film will “easily rack up more advances than any other film post Covid.” He wrote, “#PathaanAdvanceBooking has started with a bang! We haven’t seen anything like this for a while🎬 it will easily rack up more advances than any other film, post Covid. Much needed boost for the industry @yrf @_PVRCinemas.”

Directed by Siddharth Anand, Pathaan also stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham. The film will launch a shared universe of spy movies produced by Yash Raj Films. Salman Khan’s Tiger films and Hrithik Roshan-starrer War will also be included in the franchise, building up towards a potential team-up movie. Shah Rukh has reportedly filmed a cameo as Pathaan for the upcoming Tiger 3, and Salman has confirmed that he will appear as Tiger in Pathaan. Hrithik hasn’t confirmed or denied his involvement in the movie, but his character Kabir is widely expected to make a cameo. Pathaan will reportedly land on Prime Video in April.
