In an interview to Deadline, Khan spoke about his forthcoming film Pathaan and said, 'I've never done an action film. I've done some really sweet love stories, some social dramas, some bad guys but nobody was taking me for action. I am 57 years old so I thought, for the next 10 years I'm going to do action films.'
