DDLJ and Pathaan
Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Pathaan broke all records at the box office with its release on the big screen last month. The film directed by Siddharth Anand also stars John Abraham and Deepika Padukone. While the film continues to get love from the audience, YRF has re-released the classic 'DDLJ' (Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge). The film has been re-released for a week to celebrate Valentine's Week.
DDLJ is a film that established Khan as the romantic lead while 'Pathaan' presents the actor as an action hero. Now, Shah Rukh Khan has reacted to both films playing in the cinemas simultaneously. On Saturday, Shah Rukh Khan took to Twitter and wrote, "Arre yaar itni mushkil se action hero banaâ¦.and you guys are bringing back Rajâ¦uff!! This competition is killing me!!!! I am going to see #Pathaan â¦Raj toh ghar ka hai."

Meanwhile Shah Rukh Khan had recently said that he had come to the film industry to be an action hero, but missed the boat as he was made a romantic star instead.
In a video released by Yash Raj Films, SRK said: "I have only wanted to be an action hero, so for me it is my dream come true. I came to the film industry 32 years ago to be an action hero, but I missed the boat because they made me a romantic hero instead!"
Shah Rukh gives credit to his director Siddharth Anand and producer Aditya Chopra for its success at the box office.
He said, "I think this is the genre of film nobody knows better than Siddharth. I'm working with him for the first time, he just knows that this kind of cinema he knows very well. I just love the world that Siddharth makes."
"It's an action film that is close to my heart. I think it is made with a lot of goodness by a lot of good people. I hope you enjoy this larger than life (film), I think its cinematic which is the call of the day. It's a film you want to watch on a big screen."
