Shah Rukh Khan reveals John Abraham’s villainous look from Pathaan

Shah Rukh Khan revealed John Abraham’s look from his upcoming film Pathaan on Thursday. Pathaan is slated to release on January 25, 2023.

The actor shared the motion poster featuring John, on social media. The brief clip started with the countdown of five seconds on a time bomb. After it explodes, John is seen surrounded by burning logs. The actor can be seen wearing a white T-shirt, beige pants and has a harness around his torso.

“He’s tough and plays it rough! Presenting @thejohnabraham in Pathaan. Celebrate Pathaan with #YRF50 only at a big screen near you on 25th January, 2023. Releasing in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. @deepikapadukone | #SiddharthAnand | @yrf | #5monthstopathaan,” Shah Rukh captioned the post.

John also shared the motion poster on his Instagram. “I’ll let my action do all the talking,” he captioned.

Talking about his decision to cast John as the antagonist, director Siddharth Anand said, “ John Abraham the villain of Pathaan. I have 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.”

Apart from Pathaan, Shah Rukh will also be seen in Rajkumar Hirani's upcoming film Dunki alongside Taapsee Pannu. He also has director Atlee's action thriller Jawan opposite Nayanthara. The film is set to hit theatres on June 2, 2023.

John also has Tariq, penned by Ritesh Shah and Lalit Marathe, in the pipeline. The film is slated to hit the theaters on August 15, 2023.
