Siddharth Anand Says Shah Rukh Khan: Salman Khan’s Bridge Scene Was Removed In Pathaan; Post-credits scene suggested by Uday Chopra
At News 18 Rising India Summit 2023, Siddharth Anand said, “The sequence you saw in the post credits, that was the end of that (train) sequence.” He added that they struggled with the tone of the scene, so “we came up with the idea that it’s about them in real life and we’ll find humor in that.”
He continued: “But then we cut that out of the movie. He finished how that sequence ends and finished the movie. When we saw the movie after the final mix, Uday Chopra came up with the idea that we should put that scene at the end of the movie. And we all realized, ‘Why don’t we think about it? It’s amazing. Credit to Uday Chopra for that suggestion.”
Siddharth Anand said it was clear to him that he wanted to add humor to Salman Khan’s appearance as Tiger. “I wanted it to be fun because you know that they (Shah Rukh and Salman) will destroy the thugs. You are already prepared. How they will do it is what the public wants to know. But the X factor is humor. Shah Rukh and Salman have great chemistry with each other. They are very good friends, they have a great understanding and they are also like that off camera, so I wanted to capture that,” he said.
Speaking of the Karan Arjun reference, he said that they wanted to “play the gallery, head on.” She had Salman Khan say “Bhaag Pathaan bhaag” which was a callback to Karan Arjun’s “Bhaag Arjun bhaag”. The director said: “Salman was a bit shy, but I pushed him to do it.”
