Yash Raj Films CEO Akshaye Widhani stated, “It is incredible that ‘Pathaan’ has registered the biggest all-time opening in India and overseas, considering the collections of the film in the first three days of release, which is dubbed the opening weekend for any film. ‘Pathaan’ has been blessed by Indians across the globe and what is happening with this film is unprecedented and historic.”
