John Abraham Opens Up About Phase When He Had No Work; Bollywood Declared He Was ‘Finished, Out,.....’
The journey of John Abraham in Bollywood is a testament to resilience, vision, and a relentless pursuit of challenging the status quo. Once typecast as the quintessential action hero, he found himself at a crossroads, questioning the roles he was being offered. This dissatisfaction ignited a spark, pushing him towards film production.
In a recent interview the actor came forward to confess that the industry seemed to have forgotten about him, leaving him in a professional limbo. However, that didn’t hinder John's determination to prove his mettle was unwavering. He then ventured into production and showcased a different facet of his talent. The actor gave off some spectacularly unconventional films like Vicky Donor, Parmanu, and Batla House, which not only showcased his ability to curate thought-provoking content but also redefined his image as a versatile actor.
The turning point, as John himself puts it, was a multi-dimensional shift. "The movies I was doing and watching weren't resonating with me," he confessed in an interview with Ranveer Allahbadia. "I wanted to change that trajectory." This dissatisfaction became the catalyst for his entrepreneurial spirit. "Everybody’s life has an X and a Y axis," he explained. "For me, a Z axis emerged when people started seeing beyond the physicality. They recognized the intellect, the ability to craft diverse stories.”
In the interview John Abraham was further asked the reason to shift from acting to production to which he said, “Because the movies I was doing and the movies I was watching, I was not happy (with them). I wanted to change things… Everybody’s life has an X and a Y axis. A Z axis came into my life. Suddenly, people started seeing me as more than just a bulky guy. They began to believe that I had brains, too. They realised that I can make different kinds of films, like Vicky Donor, Parmanu, Batla House
Anil Kapoor: I think that John Abraham-Anil Kapoor is the new lucky pair of Bollywood
You have done nearly a dozen film withAnees Bazmee. While speaking about the comfort you two share at work, he mentioned that he knows you since the time he would give claps on the sets of Raj Kapoor movies. What are your early memories of working with Anees?
The first incident that comes to my mind is when Anees was writing a film for Pahlaj Nihalani. He was the one who narrated the scenes to me. The film was to be directed by someone else, but the director fell ill. So, Pahlaj called me and asked if he could send Anees to direct a part of the film. I was okay withit. So, the first actor Anees ever said an “action” and a “cut” to as a director, was me.
Our first full-fledged film as an actor-director was No Entry (2005). We were supposed to do Pyar Toh Hona Hi Tha (1998)and wanted Kajol for the film, but we could not get her on board at that time. It was heroine-oriented, so the leading lady had to be strong. Later, Ajay came on board and then Kajol also came in. Anees called me and asked if he could do this film with them (Ajay and Kajol), and I gave a go-ahead. The idea of the film was given by Boney (Kapoor), who had seen this Hollywood film French Kiss (1995) and worked on it. I remember this incident very well, I don’t think Anees remembers it.
You are extremely friendly with the new bunch of actors who you work with. Unlike other senior actors, you have no qualms of opening up to a Pulkit Samrat or a Kriti Kharbanda or
