The viral Twitter video captures a man carrying his specially-abled friend on his back to watch Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan in theatre.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan, which marked his comeback on the silver screen after four years, was released on January 25. It has since broken many records at the box office and became the fastest film to earn ₹250 crore in India. As Pathaan’s fever gripped the nation, Shah Rukh Khan fans stormed the theatres to watch the film. And this specially-abled SRK fan is no different. He travelled all the way from Bihar’s Bhagalpur to West Bengal’s Malda with the help of his friend to watch Pathaan at Samsi Pawan Talkies cinema hall.
