One of the highlights of watching Pathaan is to see and hear Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan discussing their dominance at the top of the game for what seems like a very long time.
They admit to one another that they are boneweary. But they also admit that there is little they can do to change the status quo ,because there is no one else to take over from them.
“What about that one?” Salman asks SRK without naming anyone.
“What about the other one?” asks Shah Rukh.
Then they both sigh and shake their heads in the negative.
The entire end-credits exchange between the two Khan superstars in Pathaan has taken the film industry and the audience aback.
Upon discreet inquiries on how that this ‘Tiger-Pathaan’ conversation was incepted, it is revealed that the idea of a self-deprecatory conversation on their longevous stint was producer Aditya Chopra’s idea.
“He just wanted to make a point, that the Khans have their own untouchable place in the film industry. The younger actors are doing their own thing. But Salman-Shah Rukh-Aamir are in a league of their own. Pathaan proves it,” says a source in the know.
