Expressing happiness on the film’s release in Bangladesh, Nelson D\u2019Souza of YRF said, \u201cCinema has always been a unifying force between nations, races and cultures. It transcends borders, galvanises people and plays a significant hand in bringing people together. We are incredibly thrilled that Pathaan, which has done historic business worldwide, will now get a chance to entertain audiences in Bangladesh!\u201d
\nHe added, \u201cPathaan becomes the first Hindi film to release in Bangladesh post 1971 and we are thankful to the authorities for their decision. We have learnt over the years that Shah Rukh Khan has tremendous fan following in Bangladesh and we feel Pathaan, our latest offering from YRF\u2019s Spy Universe, is the perfect first film of SRK and Hindi cinema to release in the country and represent Indian culture and cinema in its full glory.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pathaan is this year’s biggest Indian hit with collections of around ?1050 crore at the worldwide box office. It is also the highest grossing film of YRF\u2019s Spy Universe that also includes blockbusters like Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai and War. Salman Khan also had a special cameo in the film as Tiger.
\nPathaan marked Shah Rukh’s successful comeback to the silver screen after four years. It also brought a much-needed respite to the dry spell at the box office with only a very few films turning out to be commercial hits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
