Either sex sells or Shah Rukh Khan: Neha Dhupia recalls her old statement amid Pathaan success

| @indiablooms | Jan 30, 2023, at 08:56 pm

Mumbai: Neha Dhupia had once said  'either sex sells or Shah Rukh Khan' and even today she feels her statement remains true specially after the success of Pathaan.

"20 years on, my statement rings true. This is not an "actor's career" but a "King's reign"! #KingKhan@iamsrk," Dhupia tweeted.

Appreciating the cast and the movie, Neha said: "@iamsrkThe love we have for you is hard to explain.@deepikapadukoneu set the screen on fire with ur gaze n ur kicks and tricks #JohnAbraham u make bad look  sogood!@BeingSalmanKhanwe would go back to the cinemas to watch the best cameo in history #pathan is here to stay!!!"

"It was a packed house ,there were whistles ,there was cheer and our hearts rejoiced …we laughed on beat , we applauded on every dialogue and we jumped out of our seats on cue each time #pathan kicked @iamsrk  thank you for you … this is what cinematic victory looks like!" she said.

Pathaan, a spy universe, has created history in the box office earning Rs. 429 crore in just four days since its release.

The film is directed by Siddharth Anand and produced by Yash Raj Films.

Pathaan was screened as early as 6 am on Wednesday reflecting the craze around 57-year-old Shah Rukh Khan, who had taken a break from films following the dull run of his last project Zero in the box office in 2018.

The film was released in around 100 countries.

In a quite rare scenario, the entire cast of Pathaan had refrained from any media interactions in the run up to the film's release (Jan 25).

For the first time since Pathaan's release, Shah Rukh on Sunday made his public appearance and greeted his fans from his Mumbai residence Mannat.
