Shah Rukh Khan turned 57 yesterday and unlike the fan frenzy outside his home, reportedly brought in his special day rather quietly. The superstar and wife Gauri hosted their close friends, including directors Siddharth Anand, Farah Khan, Maneesh Sharma, and Harman Baweja. In their trademark style, the Khans had a lavish dinner spread for their guests. SRK showcased the teaser of Pathaan, directed by Siddharth, to his guests. Around midnight, King Khan cut the cake and the celebrations, including some games, went on till the wee hours. As the teaser was unveiled yesterday, the film’s director Siddharth said, “SRK truly has been ruling the hearts and minds of audiences for decades and Pathaan marks his return to the big screen after a gap of four long years. So, while we decided to surprise them all on his birthday, the pressure to deliver was immense.” Asserting that Pathaan is not just a movie, the filmmaker added, “It is an emotion as we are aiming to make the biggest action spectacle with one of the all-time biggest on-screen icons that Indian cinema has ever seen.”
