Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone to wrap Pathaan’s Spain schedule on March 27

Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone have been sizzling in Spain as leaked photos from the sets of Pathaan took the internet by storm. The biggest on-screen pair of our generation has been shooting a hugely mounted song in Mallorca and are now set to head to Cadiz and Jerez in Spain where they will wrap the schedule on March 27th.

A trade source says, “Pathaan is the first film to be shot in Mallorca, Spain. Its expensive, exquisite and luxurious setting makes it one of the best tourist destinations in the world and Siddharth Anand and YRF definitely wanted to film Pathaan over here to achieve a level of scale that hasn’t been seen before in Hindi cinema! After Mallorca, Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone will head to Cadiz and Jerez for an action schedule that is simply unreal. They will be pushing their bodies to the hilt and filming some death-defying stunts!”

The source further reveals, “Pathaan team is aiming to wrap the Spain schedule on March 27th. Sid Anand wanted a big international schedule to wow audiences and he has managed to somehow achieve his vision with YRF. From what we have seen in the leaked images, SRK and Deepika are looking absolutely drool-worthy and looks like Sid wants them to scorch the big screen. SRK and DP’s pairing has delivered historic blockbusters and there is a definite intent by the makers to make Pathaan their biggest film to date.”
