Talking about John Abraham, the actor was last seen in Sanjay Gupta’s gangster drama Mumbai Saga (2021). He next will be seen in Satyameva Jayate 2, Ek Villain Returns, and Pathan.

Abraham is currently shooting for Yash Raj Films’ action thriller Pathan alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone. The film is expected to hit screens next year. He also headlines his home production Attack, co-starring Jacqueline Fernandez and Rakul Preet Singh.
