Shah Rukh Khan had been away from the public eye for a long time after his son Aryan Khan was arrested by NCB in October last year. However, he made his social media comeback in January this year as he shared an advertisement that he was a part of on his Instagram handle.

On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan is all set to resume the shooting of Yash Raj Films' 'Pathan'. The film shooting had suffered a lot owing to Aryan Khan's arrest in October last year.

'Pathan' also features Deepika Padukone and John Abraham and will have Salman Khan in a cameo appearance. The film is scheduled for release on August 15, 2022.
