Shah Rukh Khan’s this gesture towards John Abraham highlights the bond the two actors developed while working on Pathaan. Check here.
Actor John Abraham recently shared a heartwarming story about his Pathaan co-star, Shah Rukh Khan, during an appearance on the TV chat show Aapka Apna Zakir. The actor, who played the villainous Jim in the blockbuster spy thriller, revealed that Shah Rukh gifted him a motorcycle after the movie’s tremendous success last year. John recounted the moment with a smile, saying, “After Pathaan released, there was a success party. Shah Rukh was in high spirits, excited about the film’s big opening. He invited me to join the celebration, but I told him, ‘No, I need to sleep.’ He was surprised and asked, ‘What, you need to sleep?’ I said, ‘Yes, I’ve got to sleep.’ So he asked me what I wanted, and I jokingly said, ‘Just gift me a motorcycle.’ To my surprise, he actually did it! I went home happy with my new bike.”
This gesture from Shah Rukh highlights the bond the two actors developed while working on Pathaan. John had previously shared his admiration for Shah Rukh on The Ranveer Show, expressing how much he respected SRK. John had said, “When I started my career, Shah Rukh was a judge in a modeling competition I was part of. Fast forward to ‘Pathaan,’ and I was working alongside him. He’s incredibly smart, intelligent, but also very caring and cute. We really got along well”.
Pathaan, directed by Siddharth Anand and produced by Aditya Chopra, became a massive hit, earning over Rs 1,050 crore worldwide (Rs 654 from India). It’s part of the YRF Spy Universe and featured an ensemble cast including Deepika Padukone, Dimple Kapadia, and Ashutosh Rana, with a special appearance by Salman Khan.
Meanwhile, John Abraham is currently enjoying the earnings of his latest film Vedaa, directed by Nikkhil Advani, which hit theaters last week. The movie earned Rs 16 crore in India. Up next, he’ll be seen in the action-packed film Tehran. Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up for his next project, King, a crime drama directed by Sujoy Ghosh.
