The big movies are all set to arrive in the last quarter of 2022, and Pathan leads the brigade.

With Siddharth Anand calling the shots, this YRF film has just gotten bigger with Deepika Padukone as the leading lady and John Abraham as the villain.
Shah Rukh Khan was last seen in Zero four years ago, and Pathan seems to have all the ingredients to be his next blockbuster.

While Ayushmann Khurranna has been primarily seen in light-hearted roles, we've seen him get intense in Article 15.
With Action Hero, he will be seen in an altogether different avatar as he bulks up to get into an action image.
