John Abraham in Pathaan
After revealing Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone’s looks from Pathaan, the makers have now dropped a dekko of John Abraham’s antagonist avatar in the Republic Day 2023 release. “Locked and loaded,” wrote SRK as he shared his co-actor’s look from the action thriller. King Khan added, “He’s tough and he plays it rough.” On casting John as the villain, director Siddharth Anand says, “I’ve always believed that the villain’s projection should be as big, if not bigger than that of the hero’s. Only when the villain is massive, can the tussle between them be spectacular. And we have an extraordinary battle when SRK takes on John!” Given that the movie marks SRK’s return to cinemas after four years since Zero, the makers are keen to constantly generate curiosity about it. Elaborating on their plan, Siddharth adds, “Every announcement of Pathaan is like revealing a piece of an epic puzzle, in front of the curious eyes of the fans and audiences, leading right up to our release day. We aspire for every asset of Pathaan to be a big talking point mainly because we fortunately, have the content to create that buzz.”
