Apart from SRK and DP, the movie also saw John Abraham as a former R&AW agent along with Ashutosh Rana and Dimple Kapadia. The Siddharth Anand starrer was in the theatres for over 100 days.

He said, “I think we haven’t got the art to do this. They could do better. They can be realistic, these are not realistic.” When asked what he found “not realistic” in Pathaan, Vikram Sood said, “you are trying to make a James Bond movie which is also not realistic. Then you have this story of the ISI girl and a R&AW man living happily ever after…take a break yaar (laughs) The whole atmospheric…” He further mentioned that he would not waste his time watching the movie and said, “I haven’t seen Pathaan and I won’t see it because I don’t think it is… its not an accurate depiction.
