In the book fair, he went on to speak about his upcoming film and said he believes that his films will be a super hit. “If I did not have that belief that I am making a product that lots of people are going to like then I won’t be able to do it. So, it’s not an arrogant statement, this is what I like to believe. It’s a child-like belief that looks, I have prepared my best, I have done my best I am going to pass with flying colors,” Shah Rukh Khan was quoted saying by multiple media organizations.
On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan is prepping for the release of Pathaan alongside Deepika Padukone and John Abraham which will hit the big screens on January 25, 2023. Along with that Shah Rukh also has Jawan and Dunki lined up ahead.
