“I know it’s late… But remember the date…,” said Khan on Twitter.

“Pathaan time starts now,” he added.

The teaser which is one minute long features Deepika Padukone and John Abraham who are seen talking about how Pathaan got his name. A hazy Shah Rukh Khan appears at the end of the video asking viewers to look forward to finding out who Pathaan is.

Social media users can’t wait for the film to release.

“I just woke up and see a notification in SRK's Twitter and... What a wonderful good morning with Shah Rukh Khan,” said a user.

Shah Rukh Khan was last seen on the big screen in 2018 in an Aanand L Rai’s movie called Zero.

“Shah Rukh Khan making a comeback in the truest SHAH RUKH KHAN style!!!” said one user.

“Bollywood will make records again,” said another person.

Some users “love” the Bollywood actor’s shoulder length hair and his overall look for the film.

Shah Rukh Khan will star against Padukone, who has previously appeared by the actor’s side in three films including Om Shanti Om, Chennai Express and Happy New Year.
