John was to ask his actor and director friends from the industryu00a0-- Karan Johar, Abhishek Bachchan, Genelia D'souza, Priyanka Chopra and othersu00a0-- five things they want to do before they die. That's the message of the film: not wasting time in procrastinating dreams. Initially, John sounded very excited, but later backed out."
After the actor was given a wishlist of people he had to contact, he hesitated. "He felt like it would be asking for a huge favour and the thought embarrassed him. He immediately told the marketing team to drop the idea and work on something else as he didn't want to be a part of it."
Confirming this, Priti Shahani of Reliance Big Pictures who's distributing the film says, "We understand completely, it is asking people to help out and that's not something John is comfortable with."
