Pathaan, which also stars John Abraham and Deepika Padukone, is an important step in YRF's spy franchise where characters from different films will cross paths at some point. The film follows the titular spy (Shah Rukh) who comes from exile to stop the outfit X terrorist group from launching a debilitating attack on India.

It is the fourth film in producer Aditya Chopra's espionage world, after Salman Khan's Ek Tha Tiger and Tiger Zinda Hai and War with Hrithik Roshan.
