Coming in hot on the heels of the raging controversy created by the song ‘Besharam Rang’, the party anthem is reportedly set to play a vital role in the Siddharth Anand directorial. The song by Arijit Singh, Sukriti Kakar, Vishal and Sheykhar that dropped online on Thursday afternoon, set the internet on fire and shot past the 3 Million mark in just 2 hours.
The clip sees SRK showing off his abs while Deepika rocks some daring, boho-chic avatars. Shortly after the song’s release, #JhoomeJoPathaan started trending on Twitter, for all the right reasons.
“AND BOLLYWOOD PEAKED HERE” wrote a fan while adding a bunch of fireball emoticons.
“It’s his ERA, it’s his WORLD, it’s just HIM… NO COMPETITION!!!” said another.
While praising the superstar, another fan put in a request that read, “You should never wear a shirt.”

Director Sid said in a statement, “‘Jhoome Jo Pathaan’ is a song that I’m very proud of and extremely confident about. I think the audience will find it irresistible.”
Meanwhile, the film’s first song ‘Besharam Rang’, hit the 100 million mark on YouTube. The song gathered massive responses from the audience and also evoked a controversy with several BJP leaders expressing anger over Deepika’s saffron costume.
‘Pathaan’ which also stars John Abraham as the antagonist, is set to hit theatres on January 25, 2023, in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
