Talking about Shah Rukh, John exclusively told Pinkvilla that he is responsible for where the Attack actor has reached in life. John recalled how SRK judged a modelling competition where he was a contestant and how he owes a lot to him. "Shah Rukh Khan is, how do I say, he's responsible for where I am because when I started modelling 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."

Further, John heaped praise on his Pathaan co-star and said, "There's a lot of deep-rooted respect that I have that I can't really talk about. But, he's a wonderful person. He's very charming, he's lovely and supremely intelligent. It's all I can say."
