John Abraham and Ayesha Takia make Anurag work hard

Here is one prob that’s really strange. Director Anurag Kashyap is worried about his actors performing well. Apparently Kashyap says that his lead actor in No Smoking, John abraham, has really opened up tremendously as an actor and leading lady Ayesha Takia is proving to be a natural. And this has become a source of worry for him he now feels the onus of the film looking good finally will be on him, since nobody will blame his lead pair if the film doesn’t do well. All the more reason for Anurag to work extra hard, what say folks?

Salman on John!

Diplomacy is something that Salman Khan has never handled well. He recently showed his disapproval for John “politically correct” Abraham. “He keeps calling me his senior as if I were some kind of dinosaur. We don't talk to each other, beyond a ‘hello' when we meet,” says Salman. Needless to say, the two stars, since their fall-out during a world tour, have been cold about each other contrary to the rumour that they have been patched up.

Bipasa Basu and John Abraham- a picture perfect moment

Bipasa Basu and John Abraham look perfectly at ease letting each other have their own personal space and also being together. It was just another good moment for both of them but a very special moment for two other souls who had won the Clinic All Clear Cruise with Me Contest. Zubin and Namitha were the lucky ones to date the two hot and happening people of Bollywood. It is not always that one gets to date outside a relationship! It is a pleasure to see Bipasa and John making the world feel ‘J’ about them.

John Abraham on Big Boss

Bigg Boss is getting more and more popular! First time to their relief the inmates of Bigg Boss house got some entertainment from outside. Of course the inmates are entertainment for each other too, but someone entered the house to entertain the entertainers. And this someone was none other than John Abraham. The housemates turned the house into sher-e-Bigg Boss - a restaurant where they cooked kababs for John Abraham. The short appearance on Bigg Boss was a part of the promotion for John’s forthcoming film Kabul Express. Though the contestants are not supposed to be entertained in their stint at Bigg Boss’s house, they will however see Kabul Express this one time. The atmosphere was definitely different with Rakhi Sawant around. The inmates surely gave a hearty welcome to the drama queen! In spite of the pay hike that Rakhi asked for, Sony had to take her because of popular demand. Looks like she is going to win the show…

John's weak point...

Did you ever realize that Bollywood’s heartthrob John ever had a week point while being in Bollywood for all these years? Well even if you don’t agree with me it is a fact! John had a feeble command on Hindi and was therefore dubbed by professional artists. “I admit it was one of the areas that I needed to work doubly hard on. I’ve been consistently working on it. But Baabul truly made me confident of the way I speak my dialogues. First of all, the words were all in pure Hindi. Achala Nagar’s dialogues were a bit complex for all of us, except of course Mr Bachchan,” said John. “I had two options open in front of me. Either I asked the words to be simplified. Or I worked on the language. I opted for the latter. And believe me, if the impact of a role can be gauged by the spoken word, then Baabul is the most influential film of my life. It has changed my thought process. Now I’m actually able to think in Hindi,” he said. And the end result is that producers are actually willing to let John speak for his own voice on the silver screen after ‘Baabul’.

John gets a mega deal with adlabs!

Adlabs is sure roping in the hot and the favorite from Bollywood! Adlabs has now approached John Abraham for a three-movie contract worth Rs 22 crore. Though the contract has been finalized the dotted lines have not been signed officially by the hot favorite.

Adlab sources say,
“Adlabs had shortlisted a series of actors for this deal and John has emerged to be their unanimous choice. John’s choices of movies and his understanding of cinema makes him an easy choice for such an offer. He’s matured into a fine actor and his movie portfolio is remarkably impressive”.
