Yash Raj Films has finally shared the first official teaser for the highly-anticipated spy-thriller, Pathaan, as part of their date announcement video.
The first teaser for Pathaan released on Wednesday (2 March) has been filmed purely for a date announcement video and features no actual film footage.
It begins with John Abraham and Deepika Padukone before introducing Shah Rukh’s character in the film as a man on a mission.
Following Abraham and Padukone’s monologue, Khan narrates the remainder of the trailer in a voiceover before revealing only a delineation of himself amid an incendiary backdrop.

A plot summary for Pathaan is to be confirmed but some outlets suggest it sees a typical “police versus crime story”, but in a “dystopian” setting.
Taking to social media, the makers released the date announcement video alongside the caption: “Make. Some. Noise! PATHAAN is here,” confirming the film will release in cinemas on 25 January, 2023.
As part of King Khan’s quick Q&A session ‘#AskSRK’ on Twitter, fans asked the Bollywood megastar how it feels to return to the silver screen after a deeply-felt hiatus:
