'Pathaan', produced by India's premier studio conglomerate Yash Raj Films, will drop in theatres on January 25. It also stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham.

'Bholaa' tells the story of an ex-convict who decides to meet his daughter for the first time after being released from prison and gets trapped in serious situations. It also stars Tabu.
