Up until the late 1980s, the Kashmir Valley was home to almost a dozen independent movie theatres, but they were forced to close their doors after receiving threats from militant groups. After being closed for thirty years, movie theatres in the Valley reportedly reopened with a special screening of the Aamir Khan-starrer ‘Lal Singh Chaddha’.
‘Pathaan’ starring Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham released on January 25, in Hindi, Telugu and Tamil languages. The film is written and directed by Siddharth Anand and bankrolled by Yash Raj Films.
‘Pathaan’ marks Shah Rukh’s comeback film after ‘Zero’, which was released in 2018.
