John’s a buddy
John is not just my producer, he is like an elder brother. He relates easily with me as he too was an outsider to the film industry, like me. Nine years back, Mahesh Bhatt did the same thing for him with Jism, which John has now done for me. He’s put his faith in me. He signed me for my next film, even without seeing the result of the first. John has liked me since my television days and is proud of me.
