With the spy thriller Pathaan, Bollywood’s superstar Shah Rukh Khan made a grand comeback on the big screen. He took a long 4 years break. The movie hit the theatres in January 2023. It emerged as one of the highest-grossing films of all time in the Hindi film industry.
Pathaan’s post-interval installments, featuring Shah Rukh Khan Salman Khan were undoubtedly one of the best big screen experiences. Seeing the Karan-Arjun duo execute well-planned action scenes on such a grand scale was immensely satisfying for any true-blue Hindi cinema buff.
Meanwhile, netizens found the ‘real inspiration’ behind the Pathaan’s train action scenes. The train action segments are directed by Siddharth Anand. Netizens are saying that the makers of Pathaan copied the famous cartoon film ‘Jackie Chan Adventures for the train scene of Pathaan. It is from the early 2000s.
