John Abraham: ‘I want to say so much about Pathaan but…’

The makers of Pathaan unveiled its much-awaited trailer this week. The film that marks the return of Shah Rukh Khan to the big screens after four years has been grabbing the eyeballs ever since a few stills from the film made it to social media last year. Now that the trailer has been released, it has been gathering a lot of love from the fans.

Featuring John Abraham as the antagonist Jim, the Pathaan trailer has been much appreciated for its high-octane, stylized action sequences. The film pits John’s Jim against Shah Rukh’s Pathaan in a mission to save the country from a deadly attack.

While fans have been going berserk to see Shah Rukh Khan in an action-packed avatar, John Abraham too has been gathering a lot of praise for his act as seen in the trailer. Right from his entry shot to the various glimpses of hand-to-hand combat sequences, John leaves a lasting impact as Jim in the film’s trailer.

Overwhelmed by all the praises coming his way, John took to his Instagram page to share how grateful he is to his fans, for showering the trailer with so much love. The actor wrote on his Instagram Stories, “In my years in cinema, this moment, right here… right now, is a special one.”

The actor further shared that a lot of hard work has gone into making this film and that it’s amazing that Pathaan’s trailer has been showered with so much love. Calling the film “a biggie”, John said that its producer Aditya Chopra has given him some of his best roles on screen and that he can’t wait for the audiences to see what Sidharth Anand has done with his character and the film.

“I want to say so much about Pathaan but let’s all wait for Jan 25th!” added John. Thanking his fans once again for their overwhelming response to the trailer, John wrote, “Get set for an awesome big screen entertainer!!”

The film also stars Deepika Padukone as the leading lady and Pathaan’s accomplice. Going by the trailer, Deepika too will be seen doing some power-packed action sequences.

While we already know that Salman Khan will be seen in a special appearance in the film, rumour mills are busy churning that Hrithik Roshan’s Kabir from Sidharth Anand's directorial WAR, too may be seen in Pathaan. Salman Khan's Tiger, Hrithik's Kabir, and Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan constitute Yash Raj Films' spy universe. Pathaan also features Dimple Kapadia and Ashutosh Rana in significant roles.

Directed by Sidharth Anand, Pathaan is all set to bring fireworks to theatres on January 25, 2023. So, as SRK says, "Kursi ki peti baandh lijiye..."
