John Abraham Doesn’t Want To Follow The ‘Kabir Singh’ Trend Of South Indian Movie Remakes
John Abraham dislikes following trends, and has made it clear that he will not be part of the ‘South Indian movie gets Bollywood remake’ trend after the success of Kabir Singh.
John
Abraham
has
had
a
stable
career
in
Bollywood
so
far.
The
success
of
his
most
recent
films
has
proved
that
he
is
indeed
a
'bankable'
actor,
as
trade
analysts
like
to
call
him.
However,
John
is
motivated
by
films
with
'solid
content'
over
ones
with
commercial
success
formula.
John
particularly
dislikes
following
trends,
and
made
it
clear
that
he
will
not
be
part
of
the
'South
Indian
movie
gets
Bollywood
remake'
trend
after
the
success
of
Kabir
Singh.
Talking
about
the
South
Indian
movie
trend
which
has
started
due
to
Kabir
Singh's
success,
John
said,
"After
Kabir
Singh's
success,
I
am
sure
there
will
be
whole
lot
of
flights
that
will
go
towards
south
India
(laughs).
But
I
don't
think
I'd
follow
that
trend.
I
would
rather
do
something
different.
In
fact,
the
minute
people
ask
me,
'why
are
you
doing
this
[different]
film?'
I
know
in
my
mind
that
I
am
going
to
do
it."
In
an
interview
with
Hindustan
Times,
John
explained
what
he
thinks
of
the
word
'bankable'.
"To
me,
being
bankable
is
all
about
cutting
the
cloth
according
to
its
length,
so
that
it
[a
film]
can
work
for
everyone," he
said.
John
is
very
passionate
about
his
production
company
but
he
said
that
he
doesn't
yet
"have
the
luxury
of
extremely
big
budgets.
So,
I
focus
on
creating
very
strong
content.
And
when
I
create
that
kind
of
content,
no
amount
of
money
can
match
the
guts
that
I
have.
You
know,
my
ideas
are
usually
bigger
than
my
budgets
(laughs)."
John
was
last
seen
in
Batla
House,
a
movie
about
the
Batla
House
encounter
in
2008.
Although
it
clashed
with
Akshay
Kumar's
Mission
Mangal,
Batla
House
held
its
own
ground
at
the
box
office.
John
is
currently
shooting
for
Pagalpanti,
a
multi-starrer
comedy
being
directed
by
Anees
Bazmee.
It
is
scheduled
for
release
in
November
2019.
