Shah Rukh Khan’s latest blockbuster film, Pathaan, is on its way to making history – yet again! According to Filmfare, the action-thriller has achieved another significant milestone by becoming the first Hindi film to premiere in Bangladesh since the country’s partition in 1971.

Nelson D’Souza, Vice President of International Distributions, confirmed the news in a media statement about Pathaan’s theatrical release in Bangladesh on May 12. “Cinema has always been a unifying force between nations, races, and cultures. It transcends borders, galvanizes people and plays a significant hand in bringing people together. We are incredibly thrilled that Pathaan, which has done historic business worldwide, will now get a chance to entertain audiences in Bangladesh!” he stated.

D’Souza also expressed his gratitude to the authorities for allowing the film to be released in Bangladesh, and said, “Pathaan becomes the first Hindi film to release in Bangladesh post-1971, and we are thankful to the authorities for their decision.”

He owes the film’s release in Bangladesh to Khan’s massive fan following in the country. “We have learned over the years that Shah Rukh Khan has a tremendous fan following in Bangladesh, and we feel Pathaan, our latest offering from YRF’s Spy Universe, is the perfect first film of SRK and Hindi cinema to release in the country and represent Indian culture and cinema in its full glory.”

Pathaan, which has already taken the Indian box office by storm, is directed by Siddharth Anand and stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham in lead roles. The film’s release in Bangladesh is expected to strengthen cultural ties between the two neighbouring countries and is likely to be welcomed by millions of Bollywood fans in Bangladesh who have long-awaited the opportunity to watch Hindi films on the big screen.
