Pathaan marks John’s first film with Shah Rukh. Speaking about roping in John for the film, Siddharth Anand said, “John Abraham is THE antagonist, THE villain of Pathaan. And I have always believed in the fact 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! We wanted to present John in a super slick avatar."

The Yash Raj Films movie also marks Shah Rukh’s comeback film after a four-year-long hiatus. Pathaan was long rumoured to be in the making. However, it wasn’t until earlier this year that Shah Rukh formally announced the film.

Billed as ‘a high-octane spy thriller,’ Pathaan is directed by Siddharth Anand of ‘War’ and ‘Bang Bang’ fame. It also stars John Abraham and Deepika Padukone. Shah Rukh Khan will also be seen in two more films in 2023 — action-entertainer Jawan with South filmmaker Atlee, and Rajkumar Hirani-directed Dunki.
