As per reports, Yash Raj Films will provide a glimpse into Pathaan on SRK's birthday on Wednesday (November 2), and, as expected, fans can't keep calm!

A loyal fan wrote, "The craze of SRK and DDLJ in 1995 is the same as the craze for Pathaan in 2022." Another fan echoed their sentiments and tweeted, "The teaser will create havoc among cinephiles."
