SRK and Deepika Padukone to fly to Spain for 'Pathan'

MUMBAI

Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone will pick up where they left off and resume their 'Pathan' shoot on a romantic note.

The stars, who were expected to shoot a romantic song sequence in Mallorca, Spain, last October, will finally begin work on the same in March. According to the latest reports, the stars will head to Mallorca and Cadiz with their film team to shoot a grand romantic song sequence.

Director Siddharth Anand reportedly wants to capture the beauty of the island city famous for its beaches and limestone mountains. SRK, Deepika will also be joined by co-star John Abraham to shoot some high-octane action scenes and major confrontational sequences states a report on Mid-day.
The 17-day schedule was originally slated to take place in October, however, production was delayed in the wake of the Aryan Khan drug case. Reports later stated that filming was postponed further after the third wave of the pandemic hit India.

A source previously told IANS that the director was keen to shoot in the coastal Spanish region as no other Bollywood film has ever shot song sequences there. "The intent is to create a song that is visually so grand that it is an instant hit. All necessary permissions are being worked on for a smooth shooting experience in Spain," the source added.

'Pathan' that is slated to release in 2022, also features Salman Khan in an extended cameo.
