Pathaan is all set to release in cinema halls on January 25. The YRF-backed movie stars Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham in lead roles. With Pathaan, YRF's Spy Universe will also be officially launched and the already established franchises, Tiger and War, will be incorporated into it in the coming time. Ahead of Pathaan's release, SRK has been interacting with the fans on social media and during his recent 'Ask SRK' session on Twitter, he had the perfect response to a question about whether one should watch Pathaan first or the Republic day parade on January 26.

It gives us an opportunity to respect our Republic. After the parade u will enjoy #Pathaan even more so see it later (sic)."
