The film's team recently held a success bash where SRK, Deepika and Siddharth shared their experience of coming on board for Pathaan.

"It's nice to be back. I am not in a hurry to finish the film. It’s always been my desire to spread happiness among people and make films to entertain. Whenever I fail to do so, nobody feels as bad as me. I am very happy that I was able to spread happiness and especially to those who are close to my heart - Aditya Chopra and Siddharth,” SRK said at the event.

“And those who gave me the opportunity as you will notice the film is a very big film, it will be an expensive film. But to get me and give me a chance to come at the time I was not working and allow me to be a part of this film. I will ever be grateful to Aditya Chopra and Siddharth. And also to Deepika. I have forgotten those 4 years in these 4 days," SRK added further.

In the coming months, SRK will be seen in Atlee's Jawan and Rajkumar Hirani's Dunki.
