A post with a video clip is being shared on social media claiming that it is from Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming movie Pathaan. Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra can be seen in conversation in this clip. When Priyanka asks how he feels inside the jail, he responds, ‘ ya, it’s okay. I am just unhappy with the colour of this uniform‘. The post description claims that this scene is from Pathaan and that the jail uniform is in Saffron colour, and they (the makers of Pathan) hate it. The post ends with a call to action for the boycott of the film Pathan.
Claim: The scene shown in the viral video is from the movie Pathaan, in which Shah Rukh Khan says he does not like the colour of his saffron jail uniform.
Fact: The viral post’s video clip is from the film Don-2, which was released in 2012. It features Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra in the lead roles. The film Pathaan is scheduled to release in January 2023, featuring Deepika Padukone, Shah Rukh Khan, and John Abraham in lead roles. Hence the claim made in the post is FALSE.
We searched on the internet with relevant keywords for movie scenes with Priyanka Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan, which led us to a jail scene from the movie Don-2, which is available on YouTube.
The visuals in the viral post match with the scene from the timestamp 2 minutes 30 seconds. It’s the same conversation between Shah Rukh and Priyanka in which he says he is unhappy with the colour of his jail uniform. Don-2 was released in 2011. Pathaan is slated to release in January 2023, and the post incorrectly attributes a scene from Don-2 to Pathaan.
We found another scene on YouTube from this film revealing the jail’s location in Malaysia. Orange is one of the colours of the uniforms that the inmates of Malaysian jails wear. You can see prisoners in Malaysia wearing Orange colour uniforms in the articles here, here, and here.
To sum up, the clip shared in this post is from a scene in Don-2, not from the yet-to-be-released movie Pathaan.
