When Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan was released in january 2023, it broke several records. Prior to the movie's release on the big screen, the trailer made news and the celebrity received plaudits for his spectacular return. Abbas Tyrewala, who wrote the dialogue, has since asserted that SRK stated something in the movie that he never agreed with.
Interestingly, it was based on a remark from john F. Kennedy, and SRK stated, "Ek soldier ye nahi poochta desh ne uske liye kya kiya, poochta hai who desh ke liye kya kar sakta hai," toward the end of his fight with john Abraham. In an interview, abbas stated that he never liked the line and that despite his best efforts, he was unable to persuade the producers. He did, however, add that he could have been too severe.
He said that director Siddharth Anand, producer Aditya Chopra, and script writer Shridhar Raghavan were still certain that it was the only sentence that was appropriate for the scene in which Shah Rukh Khan narrated it on screen. It was a dull sentence, abbas said, and he acknowledged that the fact that theatergoers had cheered and whistled after hearing the speech suggests that dialogue writers may not always be right.

A Pathaan sequel was revealed last year, and Pathaan was a part of the YRF Spy Universe. It is unclear whether Pathaan 2 would surpass Pathaan's record of earning over Rs. 1,000 crores, even though the film's producers have not yet disclosed any more information on the filming or a possible release date.
