Director Siddharth Anand of the movie Pathaan claims that John Abraham was his top pick for the antagonist part.When John accepted Pathaan, Siddharth was ecstatic. Speaking about the antagonist’s casting, he continued, “To make Pathaan as vast as life, we wanted to have a towering antagonist who is equally as large as life. We were looking for someone with an electric presence on television who is also cunning and vicious.
So John Abraham was considered when creating the villain in Pathaan.Anand continued, “He was our first and only pick and we were sure that we needed a villain that they would love forever. As John faces up against Shah Rukh Khan in a bloody, adrenaline-fueled rivalry that will be epic in every way, I’m thrilled to see the support that people have shown him.
