‘Pathaan’: Shah Rukh Khan starrer will be the first Hindi film to release in Bangladesh

‘Pathaan’, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, is all set to release in Bangladesh on May 12, according to a Variety report. The Siddharth Anand directorial will be the first Hindi film to release in the country since its formation in 1971.

Variety quoted Nelson D’Souza of YRF as saying, ‘Cinema 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!’

He added, ‘Pathaan 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’s 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.’

‘Pathaan’ is this year's biggest Indian hit. It has collected over ₹1000 crore at the worldwide box office. The spy thriller marked Shah Rukh's comeback to the silver screen after four years. Salman Khan also had a cameo in the film.
