Director Siddharth Anand on John Abraham's Pathaan character
In the upcoming film Pathaan, Shah Rukh Khan plays the titular role of a spy. John Abraham's character will be his nemesis. Director Siddharth Anand had earlier shared about John's character in the movie, "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."
