John Abraham is looking forward to the box-office collection of his latest release Vedaa. This is the second film after the success of Pathaan where he played an antagonist opposite Shah Rukh Khan.

In a TV chat show Aapka Apna Zakir the actor mentioned that after the success of Pathaan, King Khan gifted him a bike last year.

Speaking to comedian Zakir Khan, John recalled, “My last film Pathaan was with him. I remember there was a success party after the film's release, and Shah Rukh was like, ‘Come on John, let’s party! Apni picture chal rahi hai. Achha opening mila hai. Maine bola nahi, mujhe sona hai. ‘Kya, sona hai?’ ‘Han, mujhe sona hai.’ Toh unhone bola kya chahiye tumhe? Maine bola ek motorcycle de do bas. Toh unhone mujhe motorcycle gift ki. Main khush ho ke gaya ghar. (Our film is doing well. It's got a good opening. I said no, I've to sleep. ‘What, you’ve to sleep?' ‘Yes, I’ve to sleep.' So he asked me, ‘What do you want?’ I said just gift me a motorcycle. So he gifted me one. I went home happy).”
