John, who will star alongside Shah Rukh in the upcoming Pathan film, said how King Khan was integral in him reaching where he is today. Speaking to Pinkvilla, John revealed how SRK was a judge of a modeling competition he had taken part in during his early days.

“Shah Rukh Khan is, how do I say, he’s responsible for where I am because when I started modeling he was the judge in the show. So I owe a lot to Shah Rukh. Probably for him it was just another competition that he judged,” said John.

The actor also revealed how he has a lot of ‘deep-rooted’ respect for Shah Rukh and how he is a 'wonderful, charming and lovely person'. The upcoming Pathan film will also see Bollywood superstar Salman Khan make a big cameo appearance.
