Mumbai, March 2 - The "King is back" is trending on Twitter and there is an obvious reason for that. After months of speculation and eagerness among the fans, Yash Raj Films finally decided to put a brake on that and announced Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's big-screen comeback with spy action thriller film, "Pathaan".

Even though the movie has been in production since 2020, YRF finally made the official announcement regarding the same and also confirmed its arrival date. For the first time, a Shah Rukh Khan movie will be released in multiple languages as "Pathan" will hit screens on January 25, 2023, in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.



The announcement of "Pathaan" has already hyped the fans. It is currently in the last leg of production and will be completed soon. Siddharth Anand is directing this high-octane actioner that is said to be the beginning of YRF's spy universe. John Abraham and Deepika Padukone have also featured in prominent roles in the film.

Meanwhile, the much-awaited comeback of SRK might be challenged at the box office. It will, in fact, will be challenged as Republic Day 2023 is already booked for big-ticket ariel actioner, "Fighter", starring Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone. The "Krish" actor is in the red hot form as his last film, "War" did wonder at the box office.

There are a lot of similarities between "Pathaan", and "Fighter", and the biggest of them is director Sidharth Anand himself, who will also be directing the Hrithik Roshan fronted. Siddharth had also directed "War". Deepika is the leading lady in both movies.



However, there are high chances that "Fighter" may get postponed to a later date to make the road clear of "Pathaan". Siddharth Anand is not only directing this film but also is the producer along with Viacom18 Studios of it. It is unlikely that Sidharth will bring his maiden production venture on the same date as his other directorial.

"Fighter" is not the only hurdle in the way of "Pathaan". John Abraham, who is a very important part of this YRF's movie, has his "Tehran" slated to release during the same weekend. It was announced recently and is yet to commence filming. It is based on true events which will be backed by Maddock Films and Bake My Cake.

It remains to see what happens in the next couple of months. As of now, all three movies - "Pathaan", "Fighter", and "Tehran", are slated for Republic Day weekend 2023.
