Shah Rukh Khan Will Not Promote Pathaan Extensively; Is Boycott Culture The Reason Behind His Decision?

Shah
Rukh
Khan
is
all
set
to
make
his
comeback
with
YRF’s

Pathaan,
which
is
helmed
by
Siddharth
Anand.
Not
so
long
ago,
Shah
Rukh
announced
the
film
and
left
his
fans
impatient
about
more
updates
related
to
the
film.
Besides
him,
the
film
also
stars
Deepika
Padukone
and
John
Abraham
in
the
lead
roles.

According
to
latest
reports,
we
hear
that
Shah
Rukh
Khan
will
not
promote
extensively.
He
would
rather
keep
the
promotions
low-key,
as
he
is
well
aware
about
the
current
scenario
of
films
not
working
at
the
box
office.

A
source
close
to

Pathaan
told
India
Today,
“SRK
might
not
go
all
out
to
promote
Pathaan.
He
is
likely
to
do
only
selective
promotions
of
the
film.
The
plan
is
to
let
the
film’s
promotional
material
do
all
the
talking.”

The
source
further
added,
“He
is
apparently
planning
not
to
do
many
press
interactions.
In
the
recent
scenario
of
films
not
working
well,
the
actor
is
keeping
a
close
watch
on
how
the
promotions
of
Pathaan
are
being
received.
The
actor
is
discussing
with
his
team
how
to
promote
Pathaan.”

On
a
related
note,
even
before
its
release,

Pathaan
is
being
targeted
by
trolls
on
social
media.
Many
netizen
on
Twitter
vowed
to
boycott
the
film
owing
to
Shah
Rukh
Khan’s
old
statement
that
he
made
about
the
growing
intolerance
in
India.
It
is
to
be
seen
how

Pathaan
will
work
at
the
box
office.

On
a
related
note,
apart
from

Pathaan,
he
will
also
be
seen
in
Rajkumar
Hirani’s

Dunki
alongside
Taapsee
Pannu
and
in
Atlee’s

Jawan
alongside
Nayanthara.
