Mumbai's iconic Maratha Mandir theater screens 'Pathaan' alongside 'DDLJ'
Shah Rukh Khan's latest release Pathaan is running successfully in theaters worldwide, and its craze has gripped Mumbai's iconic Maratha Mandir theater as well. Taken over by the Pathaan fever, as a treat for all SRK fans, the popular single-screen cinema hall is now playing the Siddharth Anand-helmed film alongside the actor's 1995 cult classic musical romance movie Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ).
Why does this story matter?
Since Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge's release in the year 1995, Maratha Mandir has continued to run shows of Khan and Kajol's iconic film. Even after nearly three decades, Khan's fans often head out to Maratha Mandir to watch DDLJ there. And now, with the single-screener playing both the SRK films, it is nothing less than a treat for his fans.

Khan's manager Pooja Dadlani took to social media to share an image from outside Maratha Mandir. The picture shows posters of both DDLJ and Pathaan put up outside the cinema hall. Along with it, Dadlani had an interesting suggestion for SRK fans who are not able to get a ticket for Pathaan, advising them that they could instead consider watching DDLJ all over again.

While one fan wrote, "Only Shah Rukh Khan could do this," another one commented saying, "For those saying SRK got back his throne. Guys it was always his, he just reminded the world."
'Pathaan' set to enter Rs. 400 crore club soon?
