On the occasion of actor John Abraham’s birthday, here is a moment worth recalling when Shah Rukh Khan called his Pathaan co-star a ‘gentle giant’. Now this would surely spark the curiosity of any lovers of King Khan and, of course, John Abraham.
King Khan is seeing praising John in a clip posted on Yash Raj Film’s YouTube account.

John shared the screen with the charismatic Khan in Siddharath Anand’s action thriller film, Pathaan, which came out in 2023. John, who celebrates his birthday today (December 17), plays the ole of the antagonist against Khan’s character. There are scenes where John’s character locks hands with that of Khan’s. However, during the fight scenes, SRK says John was a bit hesitant to pack a punch at him, probably out of respect and love for the senior. “John was very shy and didn’t want to punch me,” says Khan in the video clip. It is following this that he calls him a ‘gentle giant’ who helped him look nice in the hit movie. The megastar also spoke of how it was nice working alongside John.
