Doha: As Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's latest movie Pathaan makes history at the box office, the legend himself went on Twitter to interact with his fans on social media. 

In an #AskSRK session, the actor, known for his witty and humble responses, called Salman Khan 'GOAT' (Greatest Of All Time).   

When a fan tweeted Shahrukh wondering if his movie will be able to compete with Salman Khan's Tiger revenue-wise, the actor replied, "Salman bhai is...woh kya kehte hain aaj kal...young log...haan....GOAT [Greatest Of All Time] #Pathaan." The actor's reply can be roughly translated to "Salman is... what you youngsters call... GOAT."

During the 15-minute session, the actor answered several questions with some of them being about Salman Khan and John Abraham (who plays Jim, the movie's main villain).  

A netizen had tweeted that he went to the theatre as a Salman Khan fan, but was converted to SRK fandom after watching Pathaan. King Khan replied to the new fan saying "I am also a fan of Tiger... just place me alongside him in your heart." 

The action-spy movie marks SRK's return to the silver screen after four years. Salman Khan appears in an extended cameo as his character from the Tiger movies, which are also a part of the new shared universe that the YRF production house has set up. The franchise also includes War, which like Tiger and Pathaan, was also directed by Siddharth Anand.
