Dhar said that SRK is well regarded in the valley, as seen by the overwhelming reception to the film’s release, “Pathan.”
The Kashmiris adore the famous Bollywood actor SRK. Tickets for his film are reserved by viewers of all ages. Last time, Pathan, there was a great surprise as people waited in line to see the film. Even ‘Oppenheimer’ was a hit for us since it captured houseful concerts for days on end,” he remarked.
After the popularity of Pathan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi specifically mentioned Jammu and Kashmir, noting that theatres there are now running almost full.
“The Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remark of the Kashmiri people’s reaction to film was really a proud occasion for us. It is definitely encouraging to see people returning to the theatres, he remarked.
