The craze surrounding Shah Rukh Khan-starrer movie Pathaan is not over yet and it has achieved another milestone months after its release in theatres. The blockbuster hit movie of the year 2023 is all set to hit the neighbouring country, Bangladesh. It is pertinent to note that Pathaan will become the first Hindi film to release in Bangladesh in 52 years. The movie will have a grand theatrical release in Bangladesh in May 12.

According to a report in India Today, Yash Raj Films’ Nelson D’Souza said in a statement, "Cinema has always been a unifying force between nations, races and cultures. It transcends borders, galvanises people and plays a significant hand in bringing people together. We are incredibly thrilled that Pathaan, which has done historic business worldwide, will now get a chance to entertain audiences in Bangladesh!"

D'Souza further noted, "Pathaan becomes the first Hindi film to release in Bangladesh post 1971 and we are thankful to the authorities for their decision. We have learnt over the years that Shah Rukh Khan has a tremendous fan following in Bangladesh and we feel Pathaan, our latest offering from YRF’s Spy Universe, is the perfect first film of SRK and Hindi cinema to release in the country and represent Indian culture and cinema in its full glory."
