Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan recently resumed work on his upcoming film Pathan. The actor has been keeping a low profile ever since his son's arrest by the Narcotics Control Bureau in October this year.

It has been three years since SRK was seen on the big screen. The actor who was last seen in the 2018 film Zero will be seen on-screen next year in Pathan. He will also be seen in cameo appearances in Tiger 3, Brahmastra and Rocketry: The Nambi Effect.
