Produced by Yash Raj Films, it promises to be an action thriller with a budget exceeding 100 crore INR (approximately 13 million USD). The standout feature is the presence of 17 identical Shah Rukh Khans fighting simultaneously, possibly while riding a flying carpet or something akin to a levitating yoga mat.
Internet Reaction & Fan Theories

Fans have speculated that the multiple Khans might be holograms for confusing villains or simply bewildering the audience. There is even a fan petition calling for a spin-off titled Clone Wars: Bollywood Edition.
- Fans feel “overjoyed and a little confused.”
- Fan theories suggest the clones perform synchronized dance fights mixing styles like ‘Gangnam Style’ and ‘Mission Impossible’.
Conspiracy Theories and Behind-the-Scenes Insights
Some believe the multiple clones are a stunt safety measure, while others think it’s a precursor to a Bollywood multiverse franchise with unique Bollywood elements like dance and melodrama. According to an insider:
“It’s Bollywood’s answer to quads gamers but with more romance and less logic.”
Deepika Padukone has trained with Olympic gymnasts to keep up with the complex choreography involving multiple stunt doubles and synchronized action.
If the Script Went Even Further
- Each clone sporting a different accent, such as British or Mumbai Metro dialects.
- The flying carpet having an AI that comments humorously on the clones’ love lives.

Pathaan is highly anticipated to possibly redefine Bollywood action cinema. Trailers teasing the clone fight scenes have gone viral, though the authenticity of the flying carpet remains uncertain. Fans are excited to attend midnight screenings with kaleidoscope glasses to appreciate the multiple Khans on screen.
