Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan was joined by former footballer, Wayne Rooney in a panel discussion ahead of FIFA World Cup 2022 finale match between Argentina and France in Qatar. In the show, SRK promoted his upcoming film Pathaan, spoke about Messi, world cup final, and a lot more. The King Khan of Bollywood also made Rooney recreate his iconic Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge pose. The video of Shah Rukh recreating his trademark pose with Wayne Rooney has gone viral.
During the discussion, Wayne asked Shah Rukh about his character, “Who is Pathaan? Is he similar to anyone in football?” The DDLJ actor replied, “I’m not saying this because you are here. Honestly I will tell you who Pathaan is. Pathaan is the guy you call last minute when you are all tied up and you can’t find a solution.”
“For me, if you don’t mind me saying, if Pathaan is to be equated to any footballer in the world, before or after or later, it will always be you. You are the tough guy,” he added. Shah Rukh and Wayne also struck the iconic pose of the former from his 1995 movie, DDLJ.
