John Abraham is currently basking in the success of his recently released film Pathaan, co-starring Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone. Now, as the Hindi version of the movie has made Rs 500 crore at the domestic box office, John is "thrilled". Calling it a "landmark moment," the actor said, "This is a landmark moment not just for the film and the entire team of Pathaan but also for the Hindi film industry. I'm thrilled that we have entertained Indians and Hindi cinema lovers globally with Pathaan," Bollywood Hungama quoted the actor saying.
John Abraham, who played the role of an antagonist Jim in the movie, added, "It's a monumental achievement that has set new benchmarks. Teamwork always counts... I am so happy for all involved. Being a part of history and being loved by all, but most importantly by Adi (producer Aditya Chopra) and SRK, has made this special for me."
