SRK confirms 'Pathaan' promotion at FIFA 2022 World Cup final
Superstar Shah Rukh Khan took to social media to announce his next stop for promoting his upcoming action flick Pathaan. The actor will be watching the FIFA World Cup final from the Jio Studios in Mumbai. The much-awaited final will be between Lionel Messi's Argentina and Hugo Lloris's France. Fans were earlier speculating about the actor's presence at the World Cup final.
Why does this story matter?
Khan took a sabbatical following his last release Zero in 2018. In these four years, he has had cameo appearances in some films. Viewers would hence love to see his aura back on big screens. The actor is leaving no page unturned to promote the comeback film and this time he is promoting it on the world's greatest stage—the FIFA World Cup final.

Promoting at this level would fetch the film much-needed traction. The film already has a good pulse since it marks the return of the Don actor. While sharing the video on Twitter, he wrote, "Field par Messi aur Mbappe... studio mein @WayneRooney aur main... #Pathaan! 18 Dec ki shaam hogi shaandaar! Dekhiye #FIFAWorldCup Final mere saath, LIVE on @JioCinema & @Sports18."
Wayne Rooney also appeared in the teaser
The Dilwale actor took to social media and teased his presence at the final. In the video, he clarified he'll be in India at the Jio Studios and said, "Kursi ki peti baandh lo, mausam bigadne wala hai" (dialogue from Pathaan). He also said that he will be interacting with former Manchester United star Wayne Rooney who also appeared and said the same dialogue.
