Pathaan, which also stars Deepika Padukone, hit the theatres on January 25. The film broke all the existing records after it minted Rs. 500 crores worldwide in just five days.

Earlier, Siddharth had revealed that John was their first and only choice for the film. He said, “We were certain that we wanted a villain that the audience would cherish forever. I am delighted to see the response that people have showered on John as he takes on Shah Rukh Khan in a blood-soaked, adrenaline-pumping rivalry that will be epic in every sense possible.”

He added, “For Pathaan to be larger than life, we needed to have a towering villain who is equally larger than life. We wanted someone who is ruthless and suave, and commands an electric presence on screen. So, the villain in Pathaan was written keeping John Abraham in mind.”
