Pathaan: John Abraham is the big baddie of Shah Rukh Khan's film, and he looks focused and the fearless antagonist in Siddharth Anand's actioner.
Pathaan: The first look of John Abraham from Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone's actioner Pathaan is out, and it will certainly leave you mindblown. John plays a fearless baddie, and with the poster, it looks like he's an expert in bombs and explosions.
The poster starts with a ticking bomb about to explode. After the explosion we are introduced to John Abraham, looking geared up in the midst of the action. John launched the poster with a caption that summarises his character. "I’ll let my action do all the talking. Celebrate #Pathaan with #YRF50 only at a big screen near you on 25th January 2023. Releasing in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. @iamsrk @deepikapadukone #SiddharthAnand @yrf #5monthstopathaan."
Here's the look
The poster also reminds us that there are 5 months for Pathaan, as the film will release on 25 January 2023. Last month, Deepika Padukone's first look at the film was revealed, and it helped to hype up the buzz. Yash Raj Films has closely guarded every single element of their marquee tentpole Pathaan, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham. The Siddharth Anand directorial has been riding on tremendous buzz and anticipation. On June 25, the makers decided to release the first look of SRK in and as Pathaan that incidentally also marked 30 glorious years of the actor's incredible career. On July 25th, which marks six months to Pathaan, YRF released a glimpse of the leading lady of Pathaan and Deepika Padukone is looking fierce and intense in it.

On the motion poster launch of John Abraham's first look from Pathaan, Siddharth Anand said, "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."
About his decision to cast John as the villain, Sidharth said, "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."
