Pathan: John Abraham will portray the role of a ruthless freelance terrorist; sheds muscles for a lean appearance

After the second wave of COVID-19 when the lockdown eased a little, many actors resumed work. Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone returned to Yash Raj Studios and began shooting for Siddharth Anand’s much awaited action entertainer Pathan. The two will be portraying the role of spies in the film and for the very first time, Deepika will sport a boy cut. Well, details of their co-star John Abraham’s character are now out! As we all know by now, the handsome hunk will be seen as an antagonist in the movie.

A report shared by Bollywood Hungama has revealed that John will portray the role of a terrorist who has no nationality and works only for money. A source was quoted saying, “John plays the role of someone who works for money. He doesn't have a nationality; he is ruthless with his only religion being money. It's more like a freelance undercover terrorist. In Pathan, he works for the Russian mafia, who are running a covert gun racket in India.”

Ditching a traditional bulky avatar that many were expecting, John is going for a lean appearance. The report suggests that he shed some muscles over the last few months to achieve the look. Well, the actor will be indulging in many chase sequences and hand to hand combats with SRK. We have to admit, these revelations about John’s character have definitely raised our expectations from Pathan!
