The actor is going tou00a0be extremely busy this year with 12 films
PS:u00a0 Hopefully, they will release as well
John Abraham is doing as many as 12 films now ranging from a sequel on male bonding (Dostana 2) to a boys-having-fun comedy (Desi Boys) to a science-fiction flick (Alien Sahib) to a full-on action flick co-starring Asin.
He has four back-to-back films to shoot for this year.
First up, it's Vishal Bhardwaj's Saat Khoon Maaf in Coorg next week, then Nishikant Kamat's film for producer Vipul Shah from May 10. Then, John moves to Dostana 2 in July. From October 20, John starts shooting for Rohit Dhawan's Desi Boys.
Certain expectations
Speaking on the flurry of assignments, John laughs, "It's not about the number of assignments, but the quality of work I do. If I may say so myself, the audience that comes to watch my films has a certain expectation specially after the two back-to-back successes (Dostana and New York) that I had.
I won't be able to face my audience if they go away disappointed. So yes I'm doing three films one after the other this year starting with Nishikant Kamat's film and then going on to Dostana 2. On the day that the shooting of Dostana 2 ends, I start shooting for David Dhawan's son Rohit's Desi Boys with Akshay Kumar. It's a busy year."
Pooh-poohing the talk that his films are being shelved, John says, "Some of my films got delayed because of various reasons, (they had) nothing to do with me. Why make me the face of all the problems faced by my films? I can only say with complete certainty that no film of mine will ever get delayed because of me or shelved, for that matter,u00a0 if I can help it."
