With taking over and killing it in his anti-hero era in Pathaan, then leading the fight in the action drama Vedaa and now his newest role in the critically acclaimed The Diplomat, John Abraham is undoubtedly on a roll with roles. So what’s next for the star? He says Comedy!
Talking to PTI, he revealed, “I’m exploring doing something funny. You need to make people laugh and enjoy, not just without any meaning, but to get something out of it. For instance, Garam Masala was so special, and films like that make a difference. So, I’m looking out for scripts; I’m looking out to do something funny.”
His wish list includes having a comedy written and directed by The Diplomat director, Shivam Nair, “I love comedy. This man has got a really funny bone. I’ve told him, ‘Shivam, let’s make it’ because his sense of slapstick and his sense of humour is something that you will laugh till you drop. So, I’m waiting for this man to write something.”
Adding his wish list also includes working with Akshay Kumar again in some funny tale or another, “Akshay and I are having conversations. It will be a surprise if something happens. But we’re looking at an excuse to work together again because Akshay and I feed off each other’s energy. So, I’m looking for an excuse to work with him again soon.”
Outside of comedy, the actor is back to an intense avatar with the gritty thriller Tehran, directed by Arun Gopalan, set to release this year.
