In a classic full-circle moment, actor Harshvardhan Rane shared a touching tribute for his fellow artist and producer of his upcoming film, John Abraham, reflecting on his 20-year journey.
In a heartfelt post on social media, Rane recalled his days as a delivery boy in 2004—when he once delivered a helmet to Abraham—and expressed deep gratitude for now being able to work alongside his idol.
Rane uploaded a series of photographs on his Instagram handle on Monday from the preparations for his next film, "Force 3". The first photo featured Rane standing in the backdrop of Abraham's poster, followed by a clapper board with "Force 3" written over it.
"Working for the world's best producer @thejohnabraham…from being a delivery boy, his fan and now to be on his set," he wrote.
"To all the delivery boys who dream, the rough streets will make you tough, the unreasonable delivery time will discipline you, the heat will test your patience, the rain will challenge your spirits, and the long riding hours will question your limits. You’re not just delivering orders, you’re building patience, hunger, and resilience," he added.

Rane started shooting for "Force 3", earlier this month. He announced the news with a post on his Instagram handle. Written by Simaab Hashmi, the upcoming film is directed by Bhav Dhulia, known for "Khakee: The Bihar Chapter".
The "Force" franchise started in 2011, featuring Abraham in the lead role. Directed by Nishikant Kamat, it also starred Genelia D'Souza alongside the actor and was a remake of the 2003 Tamil film "Kaakha Kaakha".
The second instalment, led by Abraham, released in 2016 and also featured Sonakshi Sinha. In November 2025, Rane shared a post confirming his involvement in the franchise.
Rane's latest work is "Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat", which released in 2025. The actor will next feature in "Sanam Teri Kasam 2", a sequel to the 2016 release.
