Karan Johar and John Abraham on the sets of Koffee With Karan.
John Abraham had criticized Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar for offering him a forgettable part in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.
Bollywood filmmakers Karan Johar and John Abraham have worked together in Dharma Production’s ‘Kaal’ and ‘Dostana’, which were huge box office successes. However, there was a time when Karan Johar was not sure that John would one day become a star in Bollywood.
Speaking on an episode of Koffee With Karan, Karan had told John, “I thought you (John) would be great on the ramp and certainly not on screen, so when you came to me I said That you should evaluate your options and do other things.
In the video, John Abraham asks Karan Johar to offer him a forgettable role in his hit film Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. Karan approached John to play a cameo role of Robbie (played by Vikas Sethi), a college boy with a romantic interest in Kareena Kapoor’s poo.
“I used to come to Karan a lot for advice, then Karan said ‘I’ve got a great role for you in K3G that I want to offer you, Robbie. I was looking for Robbie throughout the film,’ Where’s Robbie, where’s Robbie,’ I couldn’t see Robbie.” John says in the video.
An embarrassed Karan replies, ‘Well done, and I’m sorry for that. I really never thought you would reach this point.
Meanwhile, John Abraham is on a roll after his impressive performance as the villain in Yash Raj Films’ blockbuster, Pathan. The actor now wants to take his career to new heights by focusing on action films that offer a unique cinematic experience. John Abraham is currently in the process of re-evaluating his existing film commitments and is looking forward to an exciting lineup of projects for the next two years. His next collaboration is reportedly with director Nikkhil Advani, with whom he has previously worked in Batla House.
John Abraham will reportedly start shooting for Nikkhil Advani’s new film after the completion of Shivam Nair’s The Diplomat. The film is currently in the pre-production stage.
