In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, Hrithik was quoted saying, "We are shooting with real fighter jets. We just shot in a Sukhoi. It has been so inspiring just being around the Indian Air Force. There is so much to learn from their body language, decorum, discipline, their courage, and intelligence. I am very glad that I got to experience that myself."

Speaking about his comeback on the big screen after 4 years, and on the successful run of Pathaan, Shah Rukh Khan said, “It's nice to be back. I am never in a rush to finish a film, because I have a genuine desire to spread love among people and when that doesn't happen I am the most affected by that. I am grateful to Adi (Aditya Chopra), Sid and everyone for this film, it has done really well. I have forgotten the last four years because of the last 4 days,” he said.
