Deepika Padukone is not the only common factor between Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan and Hrithik Roshan’s Fighter. Both the films are helmed by the same director - Siddharth Anand.

However, it will now be interesting to see which film’s release gets delayed – Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan or Hrithik Roshan’s Fighter.
Shahrukh Khan is making a comeback after a long time with Pathaan. The actor was last seen in Zero, which was directed by Aanand L Rai and starred Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif. However, the film failed to show any magic at the box office.
