The new rumoured project, Pathan, has left the fans of Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham pretty much excited. Supposedly directed by Siddharth Anand of Bang Bang and War fame, Pathan is developed under the banner of YRF, and is touted to be a big-budget action extravaganza.

Pathan: Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham's Starrer Will Reportedly Be a Diwali 2021 Release.
... That is, unless you count the cameos they made in each other's movies, as well in a third film, where they both had cameos. Shah Rukh Khan had made a cameo in Kaal, a horror-thriller starring John, along with Vivek Oberoi, Esha Deol, Lara Dutta and Ajay Devgn. He had appeared in the promotional track, "Kaal Dhamaal", along with Malaika Arora, that was played during the opening titles of the film. Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment was also the co-producer of Kaal, along with Karan Johar's Dharma Productions.

Kaal came out in 2005. An year later, John Abraham made a cameo in Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, that starred Shah Rukh Khan in the lead, along with Rani Mukerji, Preity Zinta, Abhishek Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan.

He was earlier touted to play the role of Arjun Rampal's character, who was Preity Zinta's boss in the film. However, it was reported that Karan Johar didn't want John to take such a small role in the beginning of his superstardom, so John took on the cameo of the DJ. At least, we did get to see him in the film. The same cannot be said about Riteish Deshmukh, whose cameo in KANK got cut.
The third film that SRK and John did together, both were cameos. Zoya Akhtar's debut directorial Luck By Chance was set against the backdrop of Bollywood. It features quite a few cameos from popular Bollywood stars playing themselves, including John and SRK (the latter having one of the most memorable scenes in the film.
