Shah Rukh Khan on unbuttoning his shirt in Jhoome Jo Pathaan song: Have never done my signature steps with abs!

People worldwide were amazed by Shah Rukh Khan's performance as an action hero in Pathaan. In the superhit, a number-one song from the movie Jhoome Jo Pathaan, SRK also showed off his eight-pack abs, and the actor is pleased that young people think his chiselled physique is "cool"!

SRK claims,  "When they (director Siddharth Anand and choreographer Bosco Martis) were doing the Jhoome Jo Pathaan song, I think a conspiracy was hatched to make me go shirtless. There was no way that I was sure about doing it (taking my shirt off), but then they made me do it!"

The superstar added, "I think it was already planned that slowly, slowly, they would start opening my buttons. I have never done my signature steps with abs! So, yeah, a lot of takes, a lot of takes. I’m very happy now when youngsters, my kids, see me on screen and say, 'damn cool body, papa!' I feel very happy, but it is really scary! I don’t know if I will be able to do it again."

With a total worldwide gross of Rs. 963 crore, the blockbuster Pathaan has surpassed all previous Hindi films to become the highest-grossing movie in Hindi cinema history. It is also the most successful movie in YRF's spy universe. Pathaan, a part of Aditya Chopra's grandiose spy world, stars Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham, three of the nation's top movie stars.

When asked what he enjoys most about the hit song Jhoome Jo Pathaan, SRK responds, "Jhoome Jo Pathaan is a song that I feel makes you want to dance. I just wanted to do a step that everyone can do with ease. It comes when it's like, 'All things are well now, so let's celebrate.' It's a party song in the film!"
