Pathan: Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone to resume shooting next week in a bio-bubble

Back in November last year after the COVID-19 lockdown was lifted, Bollywood’s Baadshah Shah Rukh Khan took his much awaited film Pathan on floors. Soon he was joined by his co-actors Deepika Padukone, Dimple Kapadia and John Abraham. In April this year, director Siddharth Anand called for a two-day schedule break. Unfortunately the shoot could not resume post the break as a janta curfew was imposed to contain the second wave of novel coronavirus. Well, we now have an update!

According to a report shared by Mid Day, Shah Rukh and Deepika will resume shooting for Pathan with all required safety measures early next week, as the state has now reopened. A source was quoted saying, “It will be a seven-to-10-day schedule that will take place at Yash Raj studio in Andheri, in a bio-bubble. Aditya sir [Chopra, producer] is clear that only those who have been vaccinated can be part of the team. Siddharth has an international schedule pending, but that will happen later. Given the current scenario, they plan to shoot in short stints.”

While SRK and Deepika will be seen as fellow agents in the film, John is reportedly portraying the role of the antagonist. What makes this project even more exciting is Bollywood’s Bhaijaan Salman Khan’s cameo as his beloved character, RAW agent Tiger.
