SRK and Deepika recently sizzled in Spain as leaked photos from the sets. The glamourous duo shot a song in Mallorca as SRK was papped flaunting an eight-pack and Deepika her perfect bikini bod. They then headed to Cadiz and Jerez in Spain where they wrapped the schedule.

About the super-hot pairing, Siddharth says, "The on-screen jodi of Deepika and Shah Rukh Khan is probably one of the biggest pairings that Indian cinema has ever seen, given their incredible successes in the past. And in Pathaan we have presented SRK and DP in a way that`s unprecedented." He adds, "They have electric chemistry with each other and they look just so hot together. It`s rare to find a pairing like theirs and their jodi is a huge USP for Pathaan." Pathaan is set to release on January 25, 2023, in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
