New Delhi: Actor John Abraham has categorically stated that he is a “hero of the big screen” and this is where he would like films to release. In an interview with Times of India, John opened up about being comfortable with the OTT medium, but only as a producer.
Talking about films releasing on OTT platforms instead of cinema halls due to the Covid-19 pandemic, John Abraham said, “As a producer, I love the OTT space. I would love to make films for the medium. And I will cater to that audience. But as an actor, I am very clear that I want to be on the big screen. I am a big screen hero and this is where I want to be seen. Right now, I am like that. Will do films that work on the big screen. If someone stops my film midway on the tablet because they need to go to the washroom, I will find it objectionable. Also, I am not available for Rs 299 or Rs 499. Would like to be. I have a problem with that.”
John was last seen in Attack: Part 1 where he played the character of Arjun Shergill. It was directed by Lakshya Raj Anand, who co-wrote the John Abraham story with Sumit Batheja and Vishal Kapoor. The film also starred Jacqueline Fernandez and Rakul Preet Singh, with Prakash Raj and Ratna Pathak Shah in supporting roles.
He will next be seen in Ek Villain Returns and Pathan. He is also very excited about doing Force 3.
