Last week, mid-day had reported that Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone would kick off Pathan’s first international schedule on October 10 in Spain (Serenading Dippy in Spain, Sep 28). The superstars were to shoot for a grand romantic number in the scenic locales of Mallorca and Cádiz, followed by the filming of some action scenes. However, sources say that the three-week schedule of Siddharth Anand’s directorial venture, in all probability, will be postponed in light of the superstar’s son Aryan Khan being remanded to Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) custody. The next bail hearing of Aryan, who was part of a cruise-liner party raided by the NCB over the weekend, is scheduled for October 7.

“While Siddharth and his unit were to head to Spain on October 7, Shah Rukh and Deepika were to fly out the next day. But with the latest events, it has been a tense situation for the superstar. Right now, the shoot of Pathan is the last thing on anyone’s mind. There is no question of going ahead with the foreign schedule without Shah Rukh. The dates will likely be reworked after things settle down in Mumbai,” says a trade source. Many from the industry have expressed solidarity with Khan, with close friend Salman Khan dropping in to meet him on Sunday night.
Yash Raj Films remained unavailable for comment.
