According to Vasan Bala, who saw Pathaan on Wednesday, the scene in which Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan interact in the film is one of the best meta moments ever experienced in a theater. The director was taken back to 1995’s Karan Arjun, directed by Rakesh Roshan and starring the two actors as brothers. Rakesh and Vasan just happened to be in the same theatre when the movie started.
The delighted filmmaker uploaded an image to Instagram with the caption, “SK says ‘Bhaag Pathaan Bhaag’.” Rakesh Roshan is in the theatre when this occurs! Let’s go!” One of my favourite Meta moments in the cinema hall, according to his caption. Ever!” Salman Khan and Shah Rukh play brothers in Karan Arjun who attempt to avenge the death of their father but end up getting killed. They cross paths again years later after being reincarnated. The “Bhaag Arjun Bhaag” discourse is what brings them together from various walks of life.
Abhimanyu Dassani of Vasan’s Mard Ko Dard Nahin Hota posted “feels,” and Harsh Vardhan Kapoor posted an image of clapping hands.”You live in a movie,” said one Instagram user (laughing face with tears emoji). Another concurred with the director, saying, “Yes, indeed.” The entire thing had a Karan Arjun feel. Another person commented, “Woah, you are definitely the king and lover of meta cinema allusions (clapping hands emojis),” while another added, “Wow.”
