In the first photo, Ashutosh and Renuka sat inside a car as they wore ethnic outfits. The second selfie was seemingly clicked inside the theatre as the duo smiled and posed for the camera. She captioned the post, “Finally going to watch #Pathaan. Mausam bilkul sahi hai, kursi ki peti baandh li hai (The weather is good, have fastened the seat bealts). With Col Luthra ji.”
Ashutosh Rana plays the role of Colonel Sunil Luthra in Pathaan. A Twitter user asked Renuka, “You weren’t invited on premium (sic0? Why?” She replied, “Arey we were invited bhai but couldn’t go.”
Reacting to the post, Shah Rukh commented, “Col Luthraji ko bataya aapne ki aap meri pehli heroine hain (Did you tell Col Luthra that you are my first heroine)!! Or should we keep it a Top Secret otherwise he may fire me from the agency!!!” Shah Rukh and Renuka essayed Shekharan Rai and Maria respectively in the 1989 television series Circus.
Renuka responded, “Hahaha unsey koi baat chhupti kahaan hai? Aaphi ne unhe antaryaami kahaa hai. Aur chaahey jo ho jaaye, woh aapko fire nahi kar saktey kyunki jo kaam aap kartey hain woah koi aur nahi kar saktaa (Can anything be hidden from him? You only have called him all-knowing. And whatever might happen, he can’t fire you because nobody can do the work you do).”
In Pathaan, Shah Rukh essays the role of a RAW agent while Ashutosh is seen as RAW joint secretary, Colonel Luthra. Last month, during Shah Rukh’s AMA session on Twitter, a fan asked him to say something about Ashutosh. He had replied, “He is a Gyaani (intellectual) and Antaryaami (one who knows from within) apart from being a very very fine actor.” Renuka had responded, “You are unfailingly kind and generous and truthful,” along with smileys and hands joined together emoji.
Helmed by Siddharth Anand, Pathaan also stars Deepika Padukone as a cop and John Abraham plays an antagonist in the film. Apart from them, the film also stars Dimple Kapadia. The spy thriller released in theatres worldwide on January 25.
