Najeeb (Prithviraj Sukumaran), a native of Kerala, is looking for a good life and decides to go the Middle East so that he can earn good money to have a good life with his wife Saini (Amala Paul) and mother Ummah (Shobha Mohan). He embarks on a journey to Gulf through an agent but lands in the clutches of a merciless Arab. He is forced to do a ‘job’ of ferrying a herd of goats in the desert. His employer is ruthless and hardly offers him food or shelter, though he feeds goats and camels. He knows that he is trapped and faces a state of privation. Even water is sparsely available. Despite hardships Najeeb never loses hope and decides to break the shackles and with the help of Ibrahim Khadri (Jimmy John Louis) and his lost friend Hakeem (KR Gokul), embarks on a journey back home by walking in the desert. What transpires around it forms the crux of the film.

The story moves ahead with minutest details and even captures goat’s expressions. Blessy’s sincerity in direction is commendable. He never succumbs to show something out of the context to make the happenings interesting. But he should have avoided the repetition and curtailed the movies’ length because three hours seems too long for a movie like this. The cinematography is excellent and the desert is made to look beautiful. (People who have taken a Desert Safari Ride in Dubai may understand it better). AR Rahman’s music is an asset to the film. Prithviraj Sukumaran has done a marvellous job and deserves a National Award. His transformation is extraordinary and your heart goes for him. The blink of hope seen in his eyes say a lot about his acting. Amala Paul looks beautiful on screen and romance in the river is contrasting to the life in desert for the protagonist. Others lend good support.

The Goat Life is not for the weak hearted wherein Prithviraj Sukumaran delivers super outstanding performance.

Ganesh Acharya came with SRK after a long time since they last worked together in the 1999 movie Baadshah. Talking about the same, Ganesh in an interactive session to a leading portal said that the movements were simple in the song ‘Lutt Putt Gaya.’ He said that the idea behind the song was, “Koi Kaise Lutt Jaata Hain.” He further added that the choreography also impressed director Rajkumar Hirani. Furthermore, praising Pritam’s music, Ganesh said that the song will also tell the story of what Shah Rukh’s Harrdy and his friends will have to do to get their visa to travel abroad.

Ganesh was all praises for the superstar’s dedication and hard work. Ganesh who has choreographed all the songs in Dunki said that SRK gives a thousand percent to a song if you expect a hundred percent from him. Acharya added that SRK’s energy and dedication were remarkable even though they were sometimes shooting in the scorching heat. He added that he was pleased to have been working with Shah Rukh after such a long time.

Furthermore, Ganesh also mentioned how ‘Lutt Putt Gaya’ is different from other songs of Shah Rukh Khan. He said that they have tried to give him more leg movements than him spreading his arms.

Dunki features an ensemble cast, with colorful characters portrayed by exceptionally talented actors Boman Irani, Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Vikram Kochhar, and Anil Grover, along with Shah Rukh Khan. A JIO Studios, Red Chillies Entertainment, and Rajkumar Hirani Films presentation, produced by Rajkumar Hirani and Gauri Khan Written by Abhijat Joshi, Rajkumar Hirani, and Kanika Dhillon, Dunki is slated to release in December 2023.

Vikram Rathod (Shahrukh Khan), an Indian army officer is killed by a global arms dealer Kali Gaikwad (Vijay Sethupathi). 30 years later Azad (Shahrukh Khan), who is a jailer at a women’s prison, hijacks a Mumbai Metro train with the help of six inmates named Lakshmi, Eelam, Ishkra, Kalki, Helena and Janhvi (Sanya Malhotra, Priya Mani, Sangeeta Bhattacharya, Priyadarshini, Leher Khan and Girija Osaka, though not in that order) and demands a ransom of ₹40000 cr in exchange of passengers which includes Kali’s daughter Alia. The money is distributed to 7 lakh farmers to liquidate their loans. A police officer Narmada (Nayanthara) is after him but her daughter Suchi selects Azad as her mother’s dulha. Azad carries out another mission to initiate better infrastructure in Government hospitals by abducting health minister. Later through a flashback one understands that Azad’s mother is Aishwarya (Deepika Padukone) who had given birth to him in the jail. One of the jailers (Ridhi Dogra) raises Azad after Aishwarya is hanged for killing Kali’s people. After a monologue on Indian politicians and political system a film ends with a remake of an olden era song Ramaniya Vastavaiyya.

The screenplay reminds of many films in bit and pieces. But the pace of the films makes up for it. Atlee successfully keeps audience engrossed in the proceedings with equal amount of action, emotion, humour and song and dance sequences with a social message thrown in. The production values are super high and the film is made on a high scale. The action is world class, fantastic and enjoyable. Music is okay because none of the songs stick to you while leaving the theatre. Cinematography is excellent and editing too is crisp. It’s an out and out Shahrukh Khan film and he has done a marvellous job. He is not scared to be seen as a bald man shows the courageous steak in star Shahrukh. He uses his magnetism to woo viewers with his histrionics, dance moves and action scenes. In fact it’s a double bonanza for his fans as he plays a father and a son who share the same screen space too. Nayanthara looks beautiful and does a fine job alongside Shahrukh. Sanya Malhotra, Priya Mani, Sangeeta Bhattacharya, Priyadarshini, Leher Khan and Girija Oak who plays SRK’s accomplices have given good performance. Sunil Grover, Riddhi Dogra, Ashwin Kaushal etc lend good support.

Jawan is an out and out Masala entertainer and a good family watch.

After being crowned #MissWorldin2000, #PriyankaChopra entered the entertainment world. Having debuted with a Tamil film, ‘#Thamizhan’, she entered #Bollywood with ‘#TheHeroLoveStoryOfASpy’ which had #SunnyDeol and #PreityZinta playing lead roles. Then came ‘#Andaaz’ and ‘#MujhseShaadiKarogi’ where she played a leading lady and both were superhit movies. Her grey shade role in ‘#Aitraaz’, starring #AkshayKumar and #KareenaKapoor, won her accolades but she already had decided to not to do vampish characters. Priyanka had established herself well in the film industry and was getting parts in major production houses’ big films. Later she co-starred with #HrithikRoshan in ‘#Krrish’ and #ShahrukhKhan in ‘#Don’. ‘#Fashion’ fetched her a #NationalFilmAward and also a Filmfare Award for Best Actress. Her repertoire includes successful films like #Kaminey, #7KhoonMaaf, #MaryKom, #BajiraoMastani among others.

Priyanka Chopra is a go getter and always excels in whatever she does. She is a perfectionist and an entrepreneur too. Priyanka floated her own production house, Purple Pebble Pictures, along with her mother Dr Madhu Chopra, and has been producing films across Indian languages. Her first film as a producer, Ventilator, won three National Awards, viz, Best Direction, Best Editing and Best Audiography. Winner of two National Film Awards and five Filmfare Awards, Priyanka definitely is an achiever and her name has featured in the list of 100 Most Influential People in the World, 100 Most Powerful Women and BBC 100 Women.

Recently Priyanka made a statement in media that some forces in the Bollywood were working against her and she took a decision to move to the west. Initially she focused on singing and released three singles. But the actor in her was not letting her be away from the cameras. Priyanka did a web series Quantico in Hollywood and had made up her mind to stay back in Hollywood. Later she was part of Baywatch, Isn’t It Romantic, The Matrix Resurrections etc. Priyanka found a life partner in American singer-songwriter Nick Jonas and they got married in 2018. They have a daughter named Malti Marie Chopra Jonas. Now in Citadel Priyanka is headlining the show wherein she plays a spy alongside Richard Madden. Our Sr Editor Keerti Kadam interacted with Priyanka Chopra Jonas. Excerpts…

Conversations are happening about diversity and more prominent representations of Indians and South Asians in Hollywood. Do you think the scope for us Indians to headline a project in Hollywood, be it a film or a web show has gotten better? Did it require for you to audition for Citadel?
I didn’t audition for Citadel. I had to audition for my first one Quantico, and I feel auditioning is not a bad thing. Auditioning is normal, in fact, we should do a lot more of it because then people are cast because of merit. They are not cast because they are a flavour of the season or someone likes you, or for that matter someone recommended you. But I do think when we talk about representation in Hollywood, English language entertainment especially, why not? We are one fifth of the world’s population, just Indians! English language entertainment travels all around the world. Why don’t we see more of us as leads? We come from one of the largest film industries in the world. We produce more than a 1000 movies per annum in India, every year. Our technicians are world class. Our technicians are hired by Hollywood to do a lot of their work. Why? Because they are good at their jobs. But yet we are sidelined. So I am sorry but an actor like me who has enjoyed being a leading lady in Bollywood, I know my job will not be sidelined. When I audition I will be good because I am a good actor. I will get the job like I did for Quantico and I am not under confident so we need to create more opportunities and I know as someone who has gone from India to abroad. I myself as a producer am doing that, I have a first look deal with Amazon Prime.

I am developing multiple shows with them which not only star Indian faces but also have Indian faces behind the camera, women behind the camera, writers, directors. My dream is to be able to influx Hollywood with brown faces because I know how talented we are and how much we deserve to be on the world stage. So it wasn’t easy as it has taken world’s 10 years to be able to be the face of a poster and have equal opportunity with my male co-actor. It will take time but I am not scared of it. I am very hopeful that in the next 5 years you will see a very changing landscape because of lot of my colleagues and our demands of making sure we see a lot more of faces that look like ours.

The action that you have done is fantastic in fact Russo Brothers said that it’s on par with James Bond movies. What are your views on that?
I have come from a background of doing action films. I have done action movies in Bollywood as well, so I have a lot of confidence in myself when I am going to do it with my amazing stunt team. The stunt team for Citadel comes from the Russo Brothers. They have done movies like Avengers, James Bond movies, they have worked with the best in business so I have learnt a lot from them. I am not arrogant. I love to learn and especially when someone is more experienced than I am, then I try to learn more from them. So I had a very good experience of working with the stunt team. They taught me a lot. Almost 80% of the action I did myself because I trust my body and my instincts, but I have learnt a lot of things. You know the action that I have done in this show is definitely very different than anything else I have done before.

You said a very important thing about representation and how this is one of the biggest shows in the world, headlined by a brown woman from South Asia. What do you think this means going ahead, not just for you but for the leading ladies from South Asia who have struggled like you? Where do you think this goes? How Important is Citadel in mainstreaming representation in Hollywood and what does it mean for your career as well as going forward?
I wouldn’t like to say Citadel just by itself, if it does well it’s going to change the game for the actresses who come from South Asia. That doesn’t work, it’s fine. But seeing someone say like me for the first time in Quantico, everyone was so excited to see it. Why? Because we’ve never seen it. That opened the doors for Hollywood and International entertainment. Everyone was like, Oh! This can happen. You know we should look at more talent from India, not just females though. Before me, Mindy Kaling or Aziz Ansari or people of Indian descent have created their own shows. They both had to create their own shows to play leads, because no one else was offering it. Think about how lesser opportunities were then. We had Aishwarya Rai who did some amazing movies, we have Deepika Padukone doing amazing work, we have seen Irrfan who has done good work. So one thing can not lead to change, but it’s the collective of us continuously bonding together, standing together and saying,”You know that I have gotten this opportunity, now it’s my responsibility to create opportunity for someone else, turn around and move somebody else forward”. Atleast that’s what I am doing because it gives me so much joy to do things that was not done for me. I recently had this South Asian pre-Oscars party that I did last year and then this year and I am going to do it next year again and every year I am going to make it bigger and include more and more South Asian people because I want to show the power of the collective, the power of all of us.

When you sit in Hollywood you see and say, Oh wait I know this one actor, then there is Sarita Choudhary who has worked for a long time, you name a few actors and filmmakers, but when you see all of us in a room together and you see 400+ South Asian talent in the room together dressed in Indian finery at Paramount Studios, are you kidding me? That’s Powerful! That’s what I mean it takes demand to create change so I don’t know if Citadel will be the catalyst to create that change but I know Citadel will be one of the many other things or a few other things that will lead to the change. Hopefully the next generation of Indian actors will not have to think about these problems. They can just audition, win a role without having to worry about it. That’s my dream.

Your debut movie was in Tamil and we saw that a regional language movie like RRR made it to the Oscars. Now that you are a global actor, would you like to act in a regional language movie?
I would love to! I actually have a tremendous admiration for regional cinema. When I spoke to Rajamouli sir, I expressed how incredible it was that he created such a beautiful, original world for people across the globe to enjoy. I think the Tamil Industry gave me my start and I think that I have a lot of friends in Telugu, Malayalam and Tamil industry. If I get an opportunity to do something which is really amazing, path breaking, of course I will! I’ll need a little help with the language because I don’t understand any other language besides Hindi and English, but I can pretend very well. (Laugh) Like in Citadel, I speak 5 languages, I don’t really know, but I can act like I do. So hopefully just like I did with my first Tamil movie, I memorised my lines and I delivered it. I would love to get an opportunity to work in any kind of Cinema. I think language is of no barrier to me. I am an actor, I can learn how to do things and I would love the opportunity.

Were you skeptical about doing stunts as there’s someone back home waiting for you?
So just for clarity, I am not an irresponsible person when it comes to doing stunts and I never have been. I don’t do stunts because I think I am the best person in the room to do it. There are experts, we have stunt doubles, we have stunt team and when anything is really really hard, I leave it to the experts because it’s their job. I am just an actor. You should leave it to the stunts team because that’s what they actually do, day and night, it’s their department. So when something is super dangerous, I have never been someone who has been unrealistic about you know, just for the thrill I will do it. I don’t need such thrills. I don’t want to put the poor producers in quandary by stopping the shoot of the movie because if the actor gets hurt producer is the most affected person. When I was a kid, I used to be interested in such things. When I was younger and did movies, I have hung outside helicopters without a rake but as you grow older you kind of realise how silly that was and you should leave that department to the experts. So I do that. As for the challenges in doing stunts, I think the challenge is to make it look convincing, basically how to portray it convincingly.

There was a time when actresses like Hema Malini, Madhuri Dixit were considered as role models and nowadays every actress wants to become Priyanka Chopra. What is your take on it?
I grew up wanting to be Madhuri Dixit and Sridevi. They were my idols. Rekha ma’am, another one of my idols. But I think each generation evolves. It’s natural and I am sure their idols must have been the actresses before them. When the new generation steps in, the old generation takes a step back. I still admire these ladies and they were superstars at such a time where women were not given such big opportunities. We are doing it now because, us girls collectively state that we don’t want side roles, we want the main role and if you are not going to cast us, we will make our own films. But back in the time, when Sridevi, Madhuri dixit and Rekha ji were superstars they had to struggle so much. But because they had to struggle so much, they paved the way for today’s generation and hopefully now that we are demanding things, the next generation won’t have to face the problem that we are facing today. They will definitely have their own problems at that time but not the problems that this generation is facing today, because we will solve it for them.

After Malti came into your life, your priority might have changed. Did it have an effect on your assignments and how?
My work hours have reduced, they have changed. If I get a break, I go back home. I don’t work everyday like for example during the weekends, I don’t work. I enjoy spending time at home. My priorities have changed. I have slowed down things. I took a year off, after completing Citadel and of course for Malti as well to spend more time with her, to take care of her and bond with each other as a family. She is at such a healthy age where we can travel to different places together. We travelled to India, where Malti was sitting at my mom’s house eating cottage cheese with both her tiny hands. But yes priorities change, and I have seen myself controlling my stuff accordingly. My work is not my whole life. Actually things changed even before Malti came. For the past 4-5 years, the speed at which I used to RUN has now decreased, because when you get a solid ground you don’t have to run here and there. I am glad that I have a strong foundation now.

You have accomplished so much and are headlining a show like Citadel. What is that one personal and professional goal that you are yet to achieve?
A professional goal that I want to achieve is that, I want to be able to create a filmography that has the variety that I had when I was working in Bollywood. Every film that I did in Bollywood, I played a different kind of character, I did many different genres of work. I haven’t done that in Hollywood, yet. I have just about started my journey and I am hoping in the next decade or so, I can have a rainbow of various roles, challenging roles, work with the best filmmakers in Hollywood and in Bollywood, to be able to do amazing movies with the best of the best in both the industries. Very few actors, even if you think internationally have that opportunity to be able to ride between two countries like Sophia Loren, Salma Hayek, Me, Aishwarya Rai, Deepika Padukone and now hopefully Alia Bhatt. There are very few that navigate being relevant in more than one industry, so it’s a very unique opportunity and I will never want to lose it. I think that’s one goal that I want to achieve professionally. Personally, I think I am very content with my goals. I am in a very content place in my life right now. God has really blessed me. My father’s blessings are with me. My family is healthy and happy, we live in harmony, what else do you want? So when it comes to personal goals I am good.

What is the secret of your success?
There are a few, I don’t think there’s only one thing that makes someone successful. I believe in perseverance and that nothing can speak more than hard work. A lot of people don’t get opportunities. Recognising opportunities is very important. When there is a door that cracks open, and you just think that it’s only open for the light to come in, then it’s a missed opportunity. But if the door cracks open and you have the perseverance and curiosity to open it a little bit more you may get lucky. We females can have an incredible family life and an incredible career. I have seen my grandmother and mother do it, I have seen many women in my family do it. But women need opportunities and I think recognising an opportunity is not just for women but for young people is crucial instead of waiting for the opportunities. No one will spoon-feed it to you. It’s not going to come in your hand and will say, “Hey, I want to cast you in my movie!” This only happens in reel life, not in real life. In real life you have to persevere, you have to work hard, you have to hustle and you will bear the fruit.

With Citadel you recently revealed that you got equal pay for the first time in 22 years. Do you think insecurity of the other gender exists in 2023?
Definitely! I am sorry to the men in the room but I have some incredible men in my life who are not insecure of my success, but I have also met men who were very insecure of my success. I think that men have enjoyed the freedom and the pride of being the breadwinners, the leaders of the family that it’s threatening to their territory, when a woman is more successful. When a man is staying at home and woman goes to work, he will feel bad, but we have to teach our sons that, ‘There is no shame in crying! There’s no shame in tears! There’s no shame in being able to share with your sister, your mother or your girlfriend the opportunities or the spotlight!’ It’s an amazing thing. My dad did that to my mother. When my mother was getting into private practice and he was still into military, my mom started earning more than my father but they saw it as a unit, because money was coming in the same house. So he did not have that ego and that’s what I saw in my house. So now today when I am walking on a red carpet with my husband, he steps aside and gives me the center stage, I feel very proud that I have surrounded myself with my father, my husband, my in-laws, my friends with people who don’t have that insecurity. So we as a race, as a society need to raise those kind of men that don’t feel insecure about these things. There are so many things to be insecure about, why are you comparing these things? Let everyone be successful! In the end it’s going to come in your house itself.

A 2008-batch IRS officer, Wankhede, who then headed the NCB Mumbai zone, had led a team of officers to raid the ship off the Mumbai coast on the night of October 2, 2021. The NCB had claimed to have seized 13 gm of cocaine, 5 gm of mephedrone, 21 gm of marijuana, 22 pills of MDMA and Rs 1.33 lakh cash in the raid, and arrested 17 people, including Aryan.

Aryan was released on bail by the Bombay High Court — 26 days after the raid. Eventually, another NCB team, which investigated the matter, dropped his name from the chargesheet, citing insufficient evidence. Wankhede was later accused of “shoddy investigation”.

“We have registered an FIR against Sameer Wankhede, the then Zonal Director of NCB (Mumbai Zone Unit); Vishwa Vijay Singh, then Superintendent (NCB); Ashish Ranjan, then Intelligence Officer of Mumbai Zonal Unit (NCB); K P Gosavi and Sanvile D’Souza (alleged witness) and other unknown persons,” a CBI spokesperson said on Friday.

“It has been alleged that the three officials of NCB Mumbai Zone, in order to obtain undue advantage from the persons/others in the case no 94/2021…, earlier registered and investigated under the supervision of Wankhede, had entered into criminal conspiracy with others and allegedly obtained undue advantage in the form of bribes from the alleged accused….”

“It has also been alleged that the accused persons entered into conspiracy in order to extort an amount of around Rs 25 crore from the family members of the alleged accused… by threatening them of the accusation of offences of possession of narcotics substances as per the alleged directions of Wankhede being the supervisory officer. A token amount of Rs 50 lakh as bribe was allegedly obtained in furtherance of this conspiracy…,” the spokesperson said.

The CBI conducted searches on Friday at 29 locations across Mumbai, Delhi, Ranchi, Lucknow, Chennai and Guwahati, which led to recovery of incriminating material, sources said.

Wankhede and others were booked under Sections 7, 7A, and 12 of Prevention of Corruption Act and Sections 120B (criminal conspiracy) and 388 (extortion by threat of accusation of an offence) of the Indian Penal Code, the CBI said.

When contacted by The Reporter, Wankhede, who is currently posted in the office of Director General of Taxpayers’ Services (DGTS) in Chennai, refused to comment.

Last week, the NCB terminated the services of Vishwa Vijay Singh, who was also a member of the ship raid team, in connection with a separate case in which he was suspended in April 2022. Singh had also led a team of officers to Shah Rukh Khan’s residence Mannat in connection with the Cordelia probe.

The case against Wankhede and others was registered on the complaint from NCB, Delhi that had conducted an inquiry into the alleged wrongdoings of NCB officers in the Cordelia drugs bust case and other cases.

After the allegations of irregularities, including using witnesses with prior crime records, emerged against Wankhede and other officers, a NCB Special Investigation Team (SIT) carried out an internal inquiry.

The SIT, which last May dropped all charges against Aryan and five others in the Cordelia case, had recorded in an internal note that the probe team headed by Wankhede may have tried to “somehow implicate” Aryan.

The SIT’s internal report said: “It is strange to note that in spite of clear cut denial by Arbaaz (Merchant) – Khan’s friend from whom small amount of charas was seized – regarding involvement of Aryan in procurement or possession of drugs, the Investigating Officer started looking at WhatsApp chats of Aryan without even formally seizing his mobile phone. It appears the IO was motivated to somehow implicate Aryan Khan in the drug case.”

The NCB dropped Aryan and five others from its chargesheet on the basis of “lack of sufficient evidence” and “shortcomings” in the probe — from no video of searches, dodgy witnesses and improper seizure of phones to no medical test for those apprehended.

NCB Director-General S N Pradhan had then told reporters, “There were shortcomings in the investigations. There was no corroborative physical evidence to support the allegations.”

The case had also triggered a long-running spat between then Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik and Wankhede over allegations that the NCB’s action was an alleged attempt at extortion — a charge that the latter denied.

Sources alleged that Wankhede was allowed a free hand to deal with his cases in the way he liked. His immediate superior in Mumbai, Deputy Director General Mutha Ashok Jain, proceeded on leave the day the raid was carried out. In fact, until the next day, even the NCB headquarters in Delhi was not aware of the evidence Wankhede’s team had collected.

Once it became clear that no drugs were found on Aryan and questions were raised on the investigation, a senior officer from Delhi was sent to Mumbai to supervise the case. But Wankhede continued to push the envelope, the sources alleged, giving the example of how an NCB team reached Shah Rukh’s bungalow on October 21, 2021 in an ostensible “raid”.

Sources said Wankhede had sought permission to search the actor’s premises, but was refused. “So he prepared summons for recovery of some documents from Mannat and sent a team inside to serve the same. The media had been informed beforehand about an impending ‘raid’. It was finally a call from Delhi that stopped the team from going inside Shah Rukh’s house,” an officer said. #iamsrk #ShahrukhKhan #AryanKhan #CBI #Maharashtra #Mumbai #SameerWankhede

Godwoman is a radical, eye opener film which tells us about how we should trust ourselves and our own strength within, instead of being emotionally dependent on any Godwoman/Godman.

When quipped the JJWS girl Kiran Javeri, who plays the Godwoman says, “When I heard the script I was excited as it touches a Global topic which speaks of vulnerability in every human being. When a person is going through tough times. It is at these times when we surrender and turn to and believe the Godmen / Godwomen. Besides knowing Glen Barreto for so long, it came with a lot of comfort and ease. He is an excellent director and a very dear friend.”

With a beautiful smile, Kiran concludes, “I hope the audience give the film immense love and appreciation. I am sure many may relate with the movie.

Director Glen Barretto says, “The short narrative is a mirror of human emotions which raises the question if the Godwomen actually practice what she preaches. Kiran being an excellent artist was my first choice to do justice to this complex character and Kiran as Godwoman has done complete justice. The film carries a very powerful and relevant message, the producers wanted the movie’s message to reach to maximum number of people on a global level and we hence decided to release on their channel on YouTube which is free to view and is streaming now.”

Godwoman is now streaming on Youtube and is winning people’s heart with it’s a beautiful story and message.

The onscreen pair has fast become Bollywood’s golden couple and after the success of Om Shanti Om, Chennai Express and Happy New Year, have made history yet again with ‘Pathaan’, the most successful Bollywood film post pandemic. Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone have always created magic every time they have come together on screen and the superstar even crooned ‘Aankhon Mein Teri’ to Deepika on stage when celebrating the success of the film.

Shah Rukh Khan aka Pathaan also credited the industry’s bonafide queen for the ‘sexiest fight scene’ in the film. Speaking about the beauty, grace and impact she made in her action sequences, joked Shah Rukh Khan, “Many people have seen it and voh trailer mein bhi hai, ek admi se lipatkar, ghoomakar, usko neeche girake, uspe chadkar usko maarti hai…mere saath aisa karle…itna pyaar hai uske andar…I’m toh jealous of that guy ki yaar itne kareeb se itni khoobsurati aur uske upper baitkar…main bolta ‘aur maar aur maar’ (Many people have seen it already and it’s also in the trailer where Deepika Padukone in the action scene, jumps onto someone, flips him, drops him to the floor and hits him, I wish she did that with me. I’m jealous of that guy for being so close to someone so beautiful. If it were me, I would have said “hit me more, hit me more…(laughs)..)” Adding with impact, “If I may say so, I think it’s one of the sexiest action scenes that I have seen.”
