Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan is all set to make a theatrical release in less than two weeks of time. The trailer of the film released on January 10, 2023 and was also screened on world’s tallest building Burj Khalifa in Dubai. As per the latest reports, the film is set to release on Prime Video on April 25, 2023.
For the film’s OTT version, the makers of Pathaan were asked to make necessary changes to the film by Delhi High Court on Monday. The court has asked Yash Raj Films (YRF) to add subtitles, close captioning and Hindi audio description for hearing and visually impaired people to equally benefit from the film on OTT platforms as per the Right of Persons with Disabilities Act 2016. It has also asked YRF to submit the changes to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) again for re-certification.
According to the Bar and Bench, the court asked the producers to submit the details by February 20. It also ordered the CBFC to take a decision by March 10. The court didn’t give any directions to Pathaan’s screening in theatres as the film is set to release on January 25, 2023. As per the reports, Pathaan will stream on Prime Video in April which is why the judge noted that the producers can make the changes by then. The court refused ‘to pass any direction in respect of the theatrical release of Pathaan’.
