John Abraham decides to boycott the promotion of '7 Khoon Maaf'?

John Abraham decides to boycott the promotion of '7 Khoon Maaf'?: It’s hard to stomach this gossip without a pinch of salt. The buzz is that John Abraham has decided to boycott the promotions of 7 Khoon Maaf because he was being treated on equal footing with other male actors of the film.

Someone not really known for throwing attitude or being professionally insecure, John, the buzz has it, had been expecting, if not unabashedly demanding, preferential treatment from director Vishal Bhardwaj.

Since John is the most saleable name among the seven male actors who play Priyanka Chopra’s husbands in the film, the star, reports claim, had been hoping to see himself on the movie’s posters along with Priyanka. But Bhardwaj has been focussing the most on Priyanka while relegating the male actors to the sidelines, something that hasn’t apparently gone down well with John.

So, it’s being reported that he’s decided to boycott the film’s promotions.

The movie stars a host of male actors including Neil Nitin Mukesh, Irrfan Khan, Anu Kapoor, Naseeruddin Shah and a Russian actor. 7 Khoon Maaf is slated to release on February 18.

'Force' Movie First Look - John Abraham's power of muscle: John Abraham has a body to die for and that also makes the star just perfect for any action film, but the handsome boy of Bollywood was never seen in a hard-core action movie after his villainous act in Dhoom.

So, here is John for the first time showing his muscle power and eight packs in the movie Force which is produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah.

So what is John doing in the film? He plays an encounter specialist; check out the gun tucked in his jeans. The movie is the remake of the Tamil film Kakha Kakha and is directed by Nishikant Kamat of Mumbai Meri Jaan fame.

John says the movie is his first pan India film after a long gap, and it is not just the action which is good in the film, the romance is also beautiful. The movie’s main lead opposite John is the chirpy Genelia D'Souza.

The first look of the film that can easily remind many of Salman Khan’s action hit Wanted.

Priyanka Chopra go on bed with John in 'Saat Khoon Maaf'

Priyanka Chopra go on bed with John in 'Saat Khoon Maaf': Vishal Bharadwaj’s ‘Saat Khoon Maaf’ is all about sex, drugs and infidelity. John Abraham shoots a bold scene with his co-star Priyanka Chopra.

John is playing one of the seven husbands of Priyanka. The film has received ‘A’ certificate for the censor board. “Neither Priyanka nor John was awkward during the intimate scenes.

They are both very professional,” says a source from the film unit, who did not wish to be named. “This is John Abraham’s boldest role, ever. He plays a hedonistic character.

He is seen bedding multiple partners, and even wears noodle strap tops and satin bows in bed,” adds the source. “We knew right from the beginning that we are making an adult film. The audience is mature, and it is not about specific scenes in the film,” says Vikas Bahl of UTV, the movie’s producers.

Salman Khan mends friend with John Abraham

Salman Khan mends friend with John Abraham: In Bollywood, enmity is as common as a deep-layered friendship. Hence, it’s not a matter of grave astonishment that Salman Khan and John Abraham had been brewing some animosity for the last 4 years.

Though, they were never the best of friends, there was no cause for hatred until things went horribly wrong during a stage show. A misunderstanding cropped up and they developed a cold rivalry. However, now the duo seems to have patched up. Salman, reportedly, hugged John on the sets of ‘Desi Boyz’, a film by Rohit Dhawan.

The film stars some quality actors including Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Sanjay Dutt, Chitrangda Singh and John Abraham. Salman happened to visit the sets and when he noticed John, he acknowledged his presence and gave him a tight bear hug thus marking an end to all acrimonies.

While this would mightily please the movie buffs, the most scarred relationship still features between Salman and SRK. There was a time when Sallu and Shahrukh were close buddies but after a brawl in Katrina’s birthday party (sometime back) they have turned acidic.

However, their fans can keep their fingers crossed. Who knows, a change of heart may prompt Salman to give the ‘jaadu ki jhappi’ to his ‘Karan Arjun’ co-star! While, we can’t predict if that’s going to transpire or not, but the day it does happen, it would, certainly, be the biggest news of the week.

Salman Khan and John Abraham are Pakkey Dost?

Salman Khan and John Abraham are Pakkey Dost?: This reconciliation was long overdue. Salman Khan and John Abraham have not been on talking terms for years. Not anymore.

The thaw happened at Mehboob Studios where Salman had gone to meet Akshay Kumar and Sanjay Dutt on the sets of Rohit Dhawan’s directorial debut Desi Boyz which also stars John Abraham, Deepika Padukone and Chitrangada Singh.

As Salman met with Akshay and Sanjay, he spotted John. From what he hear, John gave a disarming smile that made Salman smile back. The two walked toward each other, and to the surprise of everyone around, hugged.

This one gesture is all it took to end the long cold war that started more than four years ago during the ‘Rockstar’ concerts.

Reportedly, when John and Salman hugged, there was no awkwardness or discomfort between them. Everyone around heaved a sigh of relief and partied after that. John and Salman were then seen bonding over lunch.

Legal advice or conviction for Monica Bedi but Breather for John Abraham

Legal advice or conviction for Monica Bedi but Breather for John Abraham: The bail of Bollywood actor John Abraham was extended on Monday in the rash driving case in which he was sentenced to 15-days’ imprisonment last month.

The sessions court in Mumbai extended the actor’s bail and adjourned the matter till November 17 in the case that dates back to the April of 2006 when John had an accident on his bike in which two cycle riders were injured.

John’s lawyer had filed an appeal against the conviction on October 29. Now, the court has given time to the prosecution to frame a reply to the appeal by John’s lawyer.

In another development, the Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld the conviction of the former actress Monica Bedi in the fake passport case. However, the apex court reduced the sentence to the imprisonment already undergone by the actress.

Monica has served two years and six months of imprisonment.

Bipasha basu shocked for John punishment

Bipasha basu shocked for John punishment: The 15-day jail sentence for actor John Abraham has shocked everyone close to him, and that includes his parents and girlfriend.

A day after the verdict, actress Bipasha Basu is still reeling under shock. "We'll go to a higher court to fight the verdict. We can't just accept it quietly. John has been treated unfairly," she said.

When the jail sentence was read out in the courtroom, Abraham went so pale that people around thought he would pass out. More than himself, he was concerned about what his God-fearing parents, who have never seen the inside of a police station or courtroom, would go through when they heard about the sentence for an offence that was committed so long ago that even the people closest to him had forgotten about it, a source said.

Basu, who was at a shoot, didn't hear of the verdict till late in the night. She said, "Can you believe it? My phone had stopped working on Thursday. We knew John was going into court, but thought the matter would be closed this time." While Abraham remains tight-lipped about the jail sentence, his friends are concerned about how he has taken the shocking news.

"More than himself, John's concern was for his family and for  youngsters who look up to him as a role model. He is not an irresponsible person. In fact, he's very conscious of his social responsibilities. It's unfair to
punish him for an incident in which he was hurt the most," Basu said.

"We'll fight this together. John is a good human being. I'm not saying this because I am his girlfriend. To his credit, he continued the promotional work for Jhootha Hi Sahi despite the shock," the actress said, breaking down.

"As an individual and   a citizen of this country, I can only say what I feel. And I have to say, with due respect to the legal system, that John doesn't deserve this. Just because he happens to be a star, he's an easy target.
The same offence committed by a non-celebrity would most likely be treated differently. Since he rides a bike, he's very careful about road rules. He doesn't allow any of his friends to drive out on a bike without a helmet. He doesn't bribe the cops, he pays his taxes... what is he being punished for?"

Close friend and director of his forthcoming film, Abbas Tyrewala said, "The best rumour I've heard recently is that John's predicament is a publicity stunt for our film. On Twitter, a woman asked me if AR Rahman's misadventure at the Commonwealth Games was a publicity stunt for  Jhootha Hi Sahi. All I can say is, have a heart, guys. Don't celebrities have feelings?"

Bipasha Basu’s weakness according to John!

Bipasha Basu’s weakness according to John!: For eight years, John Abraham and Bipasha Basu have been committed to each other romantically. There’s apparently a secret behind this long-lasting love.

While promoting his film Jhootha Hi Sahi on the show ‘Emotional Atyachar’ John got candid when asked about the reason behind his rock-steady relationship with Bipasha.

John revealed that whenever he does something wrong, Bipasha keeps forgetting it as she has short memory. He obviously did not go as far as to elaborate what ‘wrongs’ he had done.

John also spoke about the art of lying to make a relationship work. In Jhootha Hi Sahi he plays a character who’s an irrevocable liar.

John and Bipasha began dating in 2002. Since then their relationship has seen rare downs and has mostly been steady.

John Abraham to serve 15 days jail!

John Abraham to serve 15 days jail!: Bollywood actor John Abraham  was today sentenced to serve 15 days in jail by a Bandra court in a case of rash and negligent driving dating back to year 2006.

In April 2006, the actor had rammed his motor bike into a cycle, injuring two people in the accident.

Today, the verdict was pronounced and the actor was sentenced a jail term of 15 days. However, the actor was granted bail from the court.

John is a lover of motor bikes and has always professed safe driving. He has said that the accident that occurred in 2006 was ‘unfortunate’.

The actor will now head to Kolkata for Durga puja. After that he will get busy promoting his film Jhootha Hi Sahi.

'Jhootha Hi Sahi' John Abraham’s new film now release on 22 October

'Jhootha Hi Sahi' John Abraham’s new film now release on 22 October: The release of John Abraham’s upcoming film Jhootha Hi Sahi  has been postponed by a week. The film was earlier supposed to release on October 15. Now it will hit the theatres on October 22.

The reason for the delay is that its music director A R Rahman requires more time to work on the film’s background score.

Director Abbas Tyrewala, who had Rahman for his first film Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, is willing to wait for Rahman to finish his work rather than release the film with tacky background score.

Producer Madhu Mantena confirmed the delay, saying, “It's true that we've decided to release Jhootha Hi Sahi on the 22nd of October instead of the 15th of October. It's only good, as we will utilise this extra time in promoting our film.”

The film has John pairing with Pakhi, who is the wife of director Abbas Tyrewala.

John Abraham strips to make his male fans!

John Abraham strips to make his male fans: Unlike Salman Khan who loves doffing off his shirt, John Abraham  isn’t known to show off his brawns to fans at public events.
So we understood his hesitation when male fans at the launch of the karaoke CD of his upcoming film Jhootha Hi Sahi demanded the actor to take off his shirt.

The event on Sunday saw a horde of male and female fans of John surrounding the actor. It was primarily the male fans who egged the actor on to strip.

“I am too shy for all this,” John replied but proceeded to unbutton his shirt.

The actor also joked with his male fans and said: “Already Abhishek ke saath ek Dostana bhari padh raha hai... aur kitno ko sambhaaloonga. (I am already burdened by my friendship with Abhishek Bachchan in Dostana. How many more will I handle?)”

Bipasha Basu completly loves new geeky look of John Abraham

Bipasha Basu completly loves new geeky look of John Abraham: The way director Abbas Tyrewala has transformed the heartthrob hunk John Abraham  into a bespectacled geek has got everyone scratching their heads in disbelief. John’s new nerdy look is for Tyrewala’s second directorial venture Jhootha Hi Sahi which introduces the director’s wife Pakhi.

Bipasha Basu and  new geeky look of John Abraham

In fact, John’s girlfriend Bipasha Basu has taken quite a liking to his new look.

“When Bipasha saw my look in the film, she said that if there is any director who has managed to break me down physically and in terms of a character on screen, it’s Abbas,” John told reporters at a bookstore in Mumbai to promote the film.

“She (Bipasha) completely loves my look. She said that this is the film I want to watch because it’s very unique, very fresh,” he added.

As a part of the promotion, John distributed the copies of Mahatma Gandhi’s autobiography ‘My Experiments With Truth’ at the bookstore.

Ironically, he plays a liar in the film.
