Months after creating massive buzz across the globe and minting millions at the box office, the SRK-starrer spy thriller has once again caught everyone's attention, BUT...for all the wrong reasons.
The movie which showcased Shah Rukh Khan in a never-seen-before avatar of an action hero, 'Pathaan' was much praised for his high-octane action scenes. While the fans celebrated SRK's comeback on the big screen after a gap of four long years, they were evenly overjoyed to watch Salman Khan in a special cameo.
Of course, Salman and Shah Rukh's reunion was the biggest takeaway of the movie, the train sequence featuring Shah Rukh and Salman, was also one of the key highlights of the action flick.
However, now the viral video about the same action sequence from 'Pathaan' has left netizens in shock. A video featuring a side-by-side comparison of the train scenes in 'Pathaan' and Jackie Chan's animated series, 'Jackie Chan Adventures' has gone viral on Twitter.
