Filmmakers always tend to rope in stars with whom they feel a sense of camaraderie and rapport. Such a case was seen with Anees Bazmee recently. The filmmaker had signed John Abhraham for his film ‘Welcome Back’ which is the sequel to the super-hit Akshay Kumar starrer, Welcome (2007). And now it is being said that they will be doing another film together.
John Abhraham has been out of action for some time now (his last release was ‘Madras Cafe’ in 2013) but he has now signed a bunch of films. The actor has signed Nishikant Kamat’s Rocky Handsome and also ‘Force 2’ which will be directed by Abhinay Deo.
John has also become picky when it comes to his films over the years and signing two films with Anees Bazmee comes as a surprise.
But Anees says that John is perfect for the role “It’ll be an entertaining film with lots of comedy, action, emotions and great songs.”
We wonder what’s the status of Bazmee’s sequel to ‘No Entry’ starring Salman Khan in the lead. The film has been delayed for several years now, even though the makers had signed a couple of leading ladies.
John has played a smart game.he knows he can’t gv solo hit so now only doing multistarrers that too sequel of successful ffilms . force 2 hera pheri3 welcome back dhisoom with varun hit dhawan
well played John :)
Its confirmed Salman khan is not doing no entry 2
john has gr8 script sense
waiting for his movies
specially the one with shojit sircar
i think john is no where close to akshay…
in comedy….
but anees bajmi can make him work at his best lets see
There’s no doubt that John is brilliant when it comes to intense roles but comedy isn’t his cup of tea.He was pathetic in Housefull2.Can’t comprehend what was the need to replace Akki with John in comedy flicks like Welcome Back and HP3.I can bet had Akki been a part of both these movies they would have been one of the most eagerly awaited movies of the year
My fav comedy films
1.AAA
2.garam masala
3.anees’s no entry
John and papa’s boy are bad in comic roles
joker akki is gud
Correction Pls :- Welcome Was Blockbuster Not only superhit & Anees bazmis biggest HITS R With Akshay [Welcome & Sing Iz King] Wats the problem Between him & Akshay ¿ No film yet together & Roping Actors like John .
He is one of the worst director…
I think there is no salman khan release in next year,as sallu has been kicked away from shudhi and his other projects like no entry squeal and sultan are in trouble
Akki’s career is over now. Noone wants him in films. Afterall he is giving flops after flops.
Akki has been beaten by Ranbir, varun, sid, Kangana, alia and shraddha. He will be out of Top 10 soon. He should start sitting on roads asking for money.
Every body understood now, what is the real’aukath’of floppy…
I am not mentioning anyone’s name, but some fans will dislike my comments. Donno how they suit this surname to someone.
Force 2 is the one Im most looking for coz John n Comedy dont go hand in hand despite what some say- hes too wooden…
Good move.
Happy foh John. His acting has gotten better over the years and finally he realised the only way to survive is to be very choosy and careful…He has a great line up of films And I’m sure he will deliver big hits in near future.
Jhon…….?
Don’t know why every one casting him in comedy movies he is too bad & looks artificial in comic role Ritesh is much better choice.
If Bhagwaan is busy
Wat a waste of time….
Akshay is far better actor than crappy john. Akshay shud hv taken in for at least Hera Pheri 3.
Anees Bazmee has given entertaining movies like Pyaar Toh Hona Hi Tha, Deewaangee, No Entry, Welcome and Singh Iss King . I hope Welcome Back is a entertaining comedy movie . After SIK Bazmee has given some crap movies such as No Problem and Ready . John has really improved as an Actor in the last couple of years . He has given some brilliant performances in SAW and Madras Cafe . He has not done a movie since 22 months and i hope WB is worth the wait . I am looking forward to Rocky Handsome, Wazir and Force 2 . I think he really needs to improve his comic timing . He was good in Garam Masala and pathetic in Housefull 2 . I don’t think he can justify the character of Raju in Hera Pheri 3 but let’s hope he can do something decent and good . All The Best John you are one of the most good looking actors of Bollywood . Stay Blessed . Cheers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fan of a 3rd class actor said that John is “brilliant” in intense roles..ha ha ha
not a surprise becoz he likes artificial acting
Welcome back was supposed to release on DEC 25,2014 and it still not released yet, I bet welcome back is gonna flop, though I didn’t like welcome so don’t care much about it sequal, I have only objection for Hera pheri 3 because if there was Akshay in the movie than it could be most awaiting film of the year when it release. Now there wont be much excitement for HP3. BTW not interested in john upcoming comedy films, he sucks in comedy.
When is welcome back releasing?
John is signing films after film but none of his films have a definite release date..I have not seen a single promotional still of Rocky Handsome and the makers claim to release it on 2nd October..I wonder whether it is completed or not..
Just like KJO thrown out sallu’s from shuddhi similarly anees bazmi also thrown out akki from all his successful franchise after known his now struggling with new comers.so Varun alone defeated these 2 losers one akki the highest flop giving actor and salman the 2nd most flop giving actor.Now Varunithrashed these 2 floppys after some days they will made a sequel called ‘jaaneman-2’ and will release that against Varun’s film and the result will be the same what happened to it’s 1st installment,lol.but before that there us more probability is that our bhai will shot for ‘chal mere bhai-2’ with sanjay duty too soon,ROFL.
They are few actors whom you never want to see in comic roles because when ever they try a comic role they don’t make us laugh they rather irritate us , give us head ache & make us cry ; actors like srk, ranveer ching Chong, john to name a few , seriously these guys suck when it comes to their comic timing , hrithik yes I will give hrithik a benefit of doubt because he hasn’t tried an out & out comic entertainer but I would say his coming timing would be still better than srk’s & john’s .
ajay, aamir, salman, shahid, ranbir are all very good at comedy but akki is the real comedy king , the actor with the best comic timing!
Would really be missing akki in WB & HP3!

@NVS Publishing the same comment twice won’t change the fact that Salman too have struggled with his comic scenes in most of his movies.Just watch his movie Maine Pyaar Kyu Kiya and you would understand what is hamming.He was terrible in that movie.Srk is way better than Salman in every department of acting.Watch Baadshah if you want to know the difference between a non-actor and an actor
i love both john and anees
@neanderthal vapid saly(nvs),but no actor could be pathetic whether in acting/comic timing as like sallu ,who is keep irritating for last 2 decades,and for salimji we have to bear that pathetic criminal creature non actor.still KING KHAN has the BEST COMIC timing for which reason CE becomes ATBB and lallu’s all films are big flops.even arjun kapoor is a better actor than the non actor lallu,lol.
@NVS honestly hrithik (no doubt a great actor in romantic roles, intense roles and stylish action roles) also suck at comedy genre. Because hrithik has never done any out n out comedy movie in his whole career. No doubt he is great actor but he too suck when it comes to comedy. His comic timing really sucked in main prem ki diwani hoon and bang bang.
Replacing akshay the comedy king in his brilliant comedy movies like hera pheri by non actor John is same as making tea with sault instead of sugar. Producers have really lost their mind by casting John in sequels to the brilliant comedy movies by comedy king akshay kumar.
