John Abraham talks about Success 

John Abraham has come a long way from being a model, actor and a producer as well. Looking forward to Dishoom release ahead next week John in an exclusive rendezvous with lipika Varma- gave away so many tips to the youth about winning the world and more – Go ahead and read

John Abraham is one actor who has been grounded from the time he has entered the film industry,” Look! It is very difficult for me to change now. I could have changed after my first or second film for that matter. But I think it’s all the ethical values that my mom especially has inculcated in me that keep me so grounded. Now if at all success goes into my head and when I am no where it is then I shall feel so depressed and disheartened so keeping the basics in mind I have not allowed success seep into my brains at all.”

Giving away a little insight he says,” Look! I know if I am going to the gym and I am not able to lift the expected weight which the character needs to carry on his shoulders then it will be of no use. I have my mother’s blessings indeed, I do not believe in God however, I understand there is a divine power somewhere who helps all of u .Therefore I credit myself for being able to make it up until this day. I am very simply like to do everything for myself. For example I do not have any body guard or any other help when I am on the sets. I just have my makeup man –Venky, so this way I think it’s important to be the director’s actor and the producer’s actor is what actually we all need to be. I don’t like to take favors from anyone yes, appreciations I do care for.”

On his journey John feels he has had a fantastic journey laughs and says,” I am gonna last like,”Duracell Battery” indeed. I have definitely made good choice. Also after I turned a producer people from the film fraternity started pinning their hope in me as they felt,”Yeh ladka soochta bhi hai” -this boy is intelligent and has the capacity of thinking as well. It is then the people from filmy arena realized that john is three dimensional. I would definitely like to work as an actor more; acting is like an everlasting interest for me. Undeniably, I will also be producing films which have different and interesting scripts. Having done different films like Dostana, Madras Café and Vicky donor people pin more hope in me, I have to thus keep choosing worthwhile projects.“

Adding about hits and flops John says,”Failures and success do not affect all. I know having given a few good as well not so good films I have to work harder. That same lot come and ask me when I have failed will also come and ask me about my success. Therefore success and failure do not affect me at all.“

While John’s performances is appreciated by some he says, “After watching my film “Water” Steven Spielberg appreciated the film.Aditya Chopra appreciated my performances in,” New York “especially that torture scene which said then,” This torture scene is never seen before, it is fantastic scene and performed very well.” If people here do not find worth being appreciated then I feel there goes something missing in their minds.”

John being a model travelled a long way model adding about his early days he says,” If you really see now a days very few out –siders are getting opportunity to work here I films. I was an out-sider, so when I produced, “Vicky Donor” the role not being suitable for me I decided to cast Ayushman for it. Look at Dino Moria, Arjun Rampal, Milind Soman when they share the screen space they loo o handsome-Yet ,people from the filmy arena will then say oh we need Talent?? Undeniably, this is just an excuse [Bahana hai] this nepotism exists; especially in this gen we see most of filmy kids making it up onto the Bollywood horizon. I had to fight it out, I have no problem I am still fighting it and I just want to do my best. Giving some hits and some flops I am still travelling and I shall continuing doing the same.”

Surprisingly John’s favorite genre is comedy and why not all his comedy film right from Welcome back, Housefull2,” Yes definitely, comedy genre is the most difficult genre. It is very tough to make people laugh. I enjoy comedy genre the best.”

John’s mantra for winning the World is indeed really great ,” Look forward in life, be self-connected always ,always be confident as people will mostly try to tell you –You will not be able to make it up, but do not listen to them Keep learning always .I never give up-I keep fighting always and I am doing it until this day.”

Last but not the least Dostana saw John showcasing a little bit of his’ Butt’ peeping tom –from within his trunk….so will his fans miss on it this time ? Laughs and confirms John,” No.Varun as pulled my trunks down!!

Now time will tell if John has given away the secret as this is not evident in the trailer of film,”Dhishoom” Wait and Watch would be the mantra.
