John Abraham is currently basking in the success of his latest release ‘Pathaan’, wherein he plays the role of an antagonist. Shah Rukh Khan and John’s fight scenes were much loved by the audience. Showering praise on John, Shah Rukh Khan had shared, “John was so kind to me. He would rehearse the action sequences with me for so many days and I thought he wanted to rehearse. But after three days, I realised that John is practicing just so that I don’t get hurt and I get used to it. He was so kind to me. I want to say one thing. It shouldn’t sound patronising but I genuinely feel, the backbone of ‘Pathaan’, the best thing in the film is Jim played by John.” Reacting to SRK’s praise, John said, “I am surprised ke yeh pehle action star kyun nahi bane. I said to Shah Rukh, ‘you are the national treasure of the country. I can’t hit you’.”
Directed by Siddharth Anand, ‘Pathaan’ has managed to rake in over Rs 500 crore nett at the worldwide box office.
