Netizens pointed out the similarities after the trailer of ‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One‘ was released on May 17.

It showed Tom Cruise’s character Ethan Hunt battling antagonist Easi Morales on a speeding train. It plummeted off a broken bridge and the protagonist navigated falling carriages and leapt across a chasm to safety.

The same is shown in the Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone-starrer ‘Pathaan‘.

Indian fans compared the two scenes by sharing pictures. They claimed that the ‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One’ makers copied King Khan’s stunts.

However, some defended the upcoming ‘Mission: Impossible‘ film.

The seventh film in the franchise will tell the story of Ethan Hunt and the IMF team tracking down a new weapon which threatens humanity if it falls into the wrong hands.

A deadly race started after the fate of the world becomes at stake.
