Shah Rukh has been interacting with his fans amid the release of his film, that marked his return to the big screen after four years. He has been doing the #asksrk sessions where fans ask him questions and he responds to them. Recently, when a fan asked Shah Rukh whether he still has those abs that he flaunted for Pathaan, Shah Rukh had his trademark witty reply. The fan asked, "Sir wo abs abhi bhi hai ya butter chicken ne dabaa diye #AskSRK." (Sir, are those abs still there or did it vanish with butter chicken?) To this Shah Rukh said, "As my baby Tiger Shroff famously said “ doosron ke aate nahi mere jaate nahin” ha ha." He was alluding to the viral dialogue of actor Tiger Shroff from the movie Heropanti (2014).

Directed by Siddharth Anand, Pathaan which also stars Deepika Padukone, John Abraham and Dimple Kapadia has become the fifth highest grossing Indian film in history after beating Salman Khan's Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015) and Aamir Khan's Secret Superstar (2017). It released on January 25.
