Pathaan, which co-stars actors Deepika Padukone and John Abraham in the lead, was screened as early as 6 am on Wednesday reflecting the craze around 57-year-old Shah Rukh Khan, who had taken a break from films following the dull run of his last project Zero in the box office in 2018.
The Yash Raj Films' production, which is a part of the spy universe, is released in around 100 countries.
