‘Pathaan’ director: Wanted to make SRK symbol of alpha and machismo
Filmmaker Siddharth Anand talks about the vision for the superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s cool look in the upcoming spy action film ‘Pathaan’.
Siddharth says, “Shah Rukh Khan has sported countless looks that have shaped the pop-culture of our country and inspired generations of youngsters to dress like the king of Bollywood.”
“His looks are associated with moments and memories of people and it won’t be wrong to say that he has made India more fashionable through his style in films. So, it was a task and a big challenge to craft a look that is extremely different for SRK, who is playing a daredevil spy in Pathaan!”
He added “We wanted to capture the essence of his character which is inherently cool through what he wears and also his hairstyle. We wanted to make SRK the symbol of alpha and machismo, someone who is effortlessly cool and hot at the same time, through his look.”
“Going by the reaction his look is getting, I think we have done the job of giving his millions of fans worldwide yet another look that they can be proud of and shower love upon.”
‘Pathaan’ is set to release on January 25, 2023 in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
