Mumbai: On Deepika Padukone’s 37th birthday on Thursday, her “Pathan” co-star Shah Rukh Khan penned a note lauding the actress and said he is “proud of her and always wants to scale new heights”.
Shah Rukh shared a new look of Deepika’s character from their film on Instagram and wrote: “To my dearest @deepikapadukone – how you have grown to own the screen in every possible avatar! Always proud and always wish for you to scale new heights Happy Birthday Lots of love #Pathan Hindi on January 25, Releasing in theaters in Tamil and Telugu.”
This will be the fourth time when Shah Rukh and Deepika will be seen sharing the screen together. Both have previously worked in films like ‘Om Shanti Om’, ‘Chennai Express’ and ‘Happy New Year’.
‘Pathan’ presents the story of an Indian spy who can fall into any system or circle, given his stealth and chameleon abilities to merge with the world he lives in.
The film is Shah Rukh’s first of three films after a gap of over four years for the actor. Earlier, he was seen in the 2018 film ‘Zero’, which bombed badly at the box office.
Produced by India’s leading studio group Yash Raj Films, ‘Pathan’ will hit the theaters on January 25.
