Seeing the global success of the film, Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan had earlier thanked the audience for bringing life back to the cinema.

"All of us here are extremely grateful - first, to the audience; and second, to all the people in media for supporting the film so much in spite of the fact that there might have been things that could have curtailed the happy release of this film," the Pathaan actor said.

Khan also took to his social media handle and wrote, “The Sun is alone… it Burns… and comes out of the darkness to Shine again. Thank u all for letting the Sun shine on #Pathaan”.

It should be noted that Pathaan is the fastest Hindi film to enter Rs 250 crore club in the domestic market as it raked up around Rs 280 crore in 5 days.
