Shah Rukh Khan's comeback film after four years since Zero 2018.
Casey O'Neill who has worked as Stunt Coordinator on Top Gun: Maverick, was hired to choreograph stunts for this film.
Fourth entry in Yash Raj Films's spy series after 'Ek Tha Tiger(2012)', 'Tiger Zinda Hai(2017)' and 'War (2019)'.
At the end of the movie, Pathaan was telling Tiger that it's been 30 years doing this job and discussing about who would replace them. This may be a reference to Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan's real-life careers.
Dimple Kapadia worked with Shah Rukh Khan for the first time in over 30 years since 'Dil Aashna Hai' (although they didn't exchange dialogues in that movie).
