New Delhi: Bollywood actor John Abraham unveiled his first look from upcoming Bollywood film, Pathaan on Thursday, August 25, 2022. The film will release in theatres on January 25, 2023, in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu languages.
The actor took to Twitter and shared his first look with a caption that read, “The mission of a lifetime is about to start. Celebrate Pathaan with YRF50 only at a big screen near you on January 25, 2023. Releasing in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.”
John Abraham essays the character of a villain or an antagonist in the film. According to Director Siddharth Anand, “The hero is only as good as the villain. 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,” Anand said in a statement.
Talking about the announcements related to Pathaan, Anand added, “Every announcement of ‘Pathaan’ is like revealing a piece of an epic puzzle, in front of the curious eyes of the fans and audiences, leading right up to our release day. We aspire for every asset of ‘Pathaan’ to be a big talking point mainly because we, fortunately, have the content to create that buzz… I can assure you that nothing can prepare you for the action spectacle that is coming your way.”
Directed by Siddharth Anand and produced by Yash Raj Films, Pathaan features actors Shahrukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham in pivotal roles.
