The Siddharth Anand movie may also contain some deleted scenes. A scene that explains Pathaan's origin was cut from the theatrical version, among other scenes, the director admitted.

The film backed by Yash Raj Films has become the most successful Hindi movie of all time. As it continues to play in theaters across the world, including those in the US, Canada, UAE, Egypt, UK, Australia, and New Zealand, it celebrated its 50th day on March 15. ‘Pathaan’ has already made over 540 crores at the domestic box office.

Fans may be treated to some supplemental content with Prime Video's OTT release of 'Pathaan'. The director had hinted about the religion and history of the main character in an interview. While talking to the media, the director of Pathaan, Siddhart stated, ‘The four of us, not the three of us, have this synergy: Abbas [Tyrewala], Sridhar [Ragahavan], Adi [Chopra], and I. We share the same worldview, and we all grew up watching and believing in the same movies. We agree on that. So, the fact that he doesn't have a name, and he's found in a theatre that was called Navrang… Although it was cut, you might still see this in the OTT version. None of us dismisses it or declares it to be cheesy.’

The director also disclosed that for their special cameo scene on the train, where he had asked Salman Khan to make a reference to his 1995 film 'Karan Arjun' with Shah Rukh. Sharing about the same, he went on to add, ‘Salman was instructed to yell ‘bhaag Pathaan bhaag’ and to do so in the style of ‘bhaag Arjun bhaag’ (from Karan Arjun). The script didn't include it. I had to persuade Salman to participate because it was funny. It was a lot of fun.’
