SRK’s birthday: Action-packed avatar of King Khan in ‘Pathaan’ teaser is whistle worthy

Mumbai : 57th birthday of superstar Shah Rukh Khan is special as today the first teaser of his film ‘Pathaan’ was unveiled and it features King Khan in a complete action avatar. Helmed by Siddharth Anand, ‘Pathaan’ also stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham. The trailer begins with a woman saying in a voiceover that Pathaan was caught by the enemies and tortured heavily on his last mission. The voice sounds a lot like veteran actress Dimple Kapadia.
