Vedaa actor John Abraham recalls not working for 4 years after industry declared he was 'finished'; 'Lot of newcomers...'

As a die-hard fan of the indomitable John Abraham, I can’t help but marvel at his resilience and unwavering determination that has made him one of the most admired actors in Bollywood. His life story is a testament to the power of hard work, perseverance, and an insatiable desire to prove naysayers wrong.


It’s clear that John Abraham is widely admired within his profession. Yet, in a recent conversation, the actor revealed that he had been without work for several years due to the industry labeling him as ‘outdated.’ However, he didn’t let this deter him and demonstrated to the industry that he was more than just a handsome action star. Furthermore, John discussed his transition into film production when he felt unsatisfied with the roles he was taking on as an actor.

In a conversation with Ranveer Allahbadia, John Abraham expressed that he has never experienced feelings of insecurity. He shared an anecdote about his time prior to the release of Parmanu, when he hadn’t worked for four years and many newcomers joined the industry. People speculated that his career was over, but when Parmanu was released, he admitted to not knowing if he was still in the industry or not. Despite this uncertainty, it proved successful. His advice? Keep working hard; your sincerity will shine through to others. Even during what some might consider a break, he continued to work tirelessly.

John was questioned about his decision to become a movie producer, and he explained that due to the films he was involved in and the ones he watched, he wasn’t content with their quality. As an actor, he desired to make improvements.

John mentioned that everyone’s life consists of an X and Y axis, which was initially only seen as him being a muscular figure. However, something along the lines of a Z-axis appeared in his life, causing people to recognize his intellect as well. As a result, they began to perceive him not just as a strong man but also someone with brains capable of producing various types of films such as Vicky Donor, Parmanu, and Batla House. He stated that Jism marked the initial turning point in his life, followed by Dhoom, and eventually his transition into production.

On a professional note, Abraham recently appeared in the movie ‘Pathaan’, alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone. Currently, he’s preparing for the premiere of ‘Vedaa’, where he stars with Sharvari.

Vedaa is a film that Nikkhil Advani has directed, reuniting him with John Abraham following their successful collaboration on Batla House. The film also stars Sharvari, Tamannaah Bhatia, Mahadev Singh Lakhawat, Kapil Nirmal, and others.

The film titled “Vedaa” is set to be released on Independence Day, 15th August, and it is being jointly produced by Zee Studios, Emmay Entertainment, and JA Entertainment.
