Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 30 : Actor John Abraham on Monday during a 'Pathaan' success event shared his experience of working with Shah Rukh Khan.
During the event, John said, "I got to work with Shah Rukh for the first time. I don't think he is an actor anymore he is an emotion. It is wonderful to have Shah Rukh back like this after 4 years. Earlier I felt like I was an action hero, but I think Shah Rukh Khan today is the number 1 action hero of the country. It's going to be my biggest hit for a long time."
John received a lot of appreciation for his negative portrayal in the film.
During the event, SRK mentioned John as the backbone of the film and appreciated his work.
'Pathaan' is on a record-breaking run at the domestic and overseas box office as it collected Rs 542 crore gross worldwide in just 5 days.
Helmed by Siddharth Anand, 'Pathaan', which was released on January 25, also stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham in the lead roles. Apart from "seeti maar" dialogues and high-octane action scenes, it's Salman Khan's extended cameo as Tiger that has made the film more special.
