To express their gratitude, the team of `Pathaan` recently met the media and fans at an event in Mumbai. Shah Rukh Khan said that the first four days since the release of ‘Pathaan’ helped him forget the past four years. “This is an experience that`s yet to sink in. Maybe we will be more grateful to God. There were times when we had to make calls to people to make them release the film with ease and they did that. I want my films to release with love. I am sure some friends of mine got too excited while watching the film and must`ve broken a chair or two. But the goal is that they should just feel happy watching the film. That it should be an experience, more than an empty packet of popcorn.”
