On January 15, the trailer of Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming movie Pathaan was showcased in Burj Khalifa — tallest building in the world. Against this backdrop, it is widely claimed on social media that Pathaan is the first film whose trailer was screened at Burj Khalifa.
The viral text reads: “इतिहास मैं पहली बार बुर्ज खलीफा पर किसी मूवी का ट्रेलर दिखाया गया है वो भी किंग खान की पठान ये देश के लिए गर्व की बात है लेकिन देशद्रोहियों के धुआं धुआं तो होना ही है” (English translation: For the first time in history, a movie trailer has been shown at Burj Khalifa, and that too, King Khan’s Pathaan. It is a matter of pride for the country but for traitors)
Here’s the link to the above post.
FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the above claim and found it to be FALSE.
We found several video news reports carrying visuals of Pathaan trailer showcased at Burj Khalifa. But these reports have nowhere mentioned that Pathaan is the first movie trailer to be played in Burj Khalifa.
In November 2022, trailer of film Bhediya — starring Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon — had been played at Burj Khalifa. In December 2021, trailer of film 83 — starring Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone — was also screened at Burj Khalifa.
Apart from these, trailers of Tamil film Vikram, Malayalam film Kuroop and Ram Gopal Varma-directed Ladki: Enter the Girl Dragon, etc., were also shown at Burj Khalifa. On the other hand, if we talk about Hollywood, then the promo of the film Fast and Furious 9 was also shown in this skyscraper.
Though Pathaan movie trailer was recently showcased at Burj Khalifa, it is not the first movie whose trailer was played in this building. Therefore, the viral claim is false.
