He also said that Pathaan’s success in the last 4 days has made him forget the last 4 years! “The good part was when I heard that John is doing the film, I really wanted to work with him. Me and Sid convinced him, and thank you John for taking up the film. It’s nice to be back. I am never in a rush to finish a film, because I have a genuine desire to spread love among people and when that doesn’t happen I am the most affected by that. I am grateful to Adi (Aditya Chopra), Sid and everyone for this film, it has done really well. I have forgotten the last four years because of the last 4 days,” said Shah Rukh.
