Exciting details emerge on John Abraham’s character in Pathan

Exciting details emerge on John Abraham’s character in Pathan

Pathan, directed by filmmaker Siddharth Anand, is one of the most-awaited Bollywood films. The big-ticket project has been creating great buzz ever since the news emerged Shah Rukh Khan would stage his comeback to acting with it having been last seen in his home production Zero (2018). The casting of Deepika Padukone and John Abraham in starring roles further added to the buzz.

While the team is currently busy filming the ongoing schedule in Mumbai, some exciting details have emerged on the character Abraham plays in the action thriller. A trade source divulges that the actor plays the character of a freelance undercover terrorist whose only religion is money and he can go to extreme lengths for the same.


“John plays the role of someone who works for money. He does not have a nationality; he is ruthless with his only religion being money. It is more like a freelance undercover terrorist. In Pathan, he works for the Russian mafia, who are running a covert gun racket in India,” the source tells a digital publication.

Abraham’s character eventually indulges in a battle royale with Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone’s characters, who are on a mission to bust the racket. If reports are to be believed, the actor will sport a very lean avatar in Pathan and engages in a series of chase sequences and hand to hand combat with SRK. The makers considered various looks for SRK and Abraham. Later, everyone zeroed in on a lean appearance for both the actors.

Pathan already boasts of a terrific star cast and the fact that Salman Khan will have an extended cameo in it makes it a hot property. The Dabangg (2010) actor appears as Tiger who goes on to rescues SRK from the Russian mafia. The film, produced by Aditya Chopra under the banner of Yash Raj Films, is expected to arrive in theatres during the Eid 2022 weekend.

Young British Asians finally get a platform on BBC Asian Network to talk identity, mental health and work life

Highlights:

  • BBC Asian Network is starting a new show called Asian Network Trending.
  • The show runs for two hours every week and is made for young British Asians.
  • It covers the topics that matter most to them like what’s trending online, questions of identity, mental health etc.
  • Amber Haque and the other hosts will share the show in turns, each talking about the issues they know and care about.
  • The network is moving to Birmingham as part of bigger changes behind the scenes.

Speaking up isn’t always easy. This show gives young people a space where their voices can be heard. Music on the radio, sure. Bhangra, Bollywood hits, endless remixes. But real conversations about identity, family pressure, mental health? Rarely. Until now.

From 27 October, Asian Network Trending goes live every Wednesday night for two hours of speech instead of beats. The first hour dives into trending news; the second hour goes deeper into family expectations, workplace racism, LGBTQ+ issues, and mental health stigma. And it’s not just one voice. Amber Haque and other rotating presenters keep it fresh.
