John Abraham was lucky enough to taste success with his debut vehicle, JISM. Though he acted in a number of films but real stardom came his way with Yash Raj's Sanjay Gadhvi directed, DHOOM, which made John a youth icon. The film also marked the first major success for Aby's baby, Abhishek Bachchan. After DHOOM, John was once again seen in Yash Raj's critically acclaimed KABUL EXPRESS, directed by Kabir Khan.
However, John turned down the same banner's JHOOM BARABAR JHOOM because he did not want to play second fiddle to his DHOOM co-star, Abhishek Bachchan. The role ultimately went to Bobby Deol and was so well executed that some of the critics went to the extent of calling it the saving grace of the film. It was also instrumental in giving a new lease of life to the junior Jatt's sliding career.
Post DHOOM the scenario was bleak for John with most of his movies like SALAAM-E-ISHQ, BAABUL, WATER and NO SMOKING to name a few, sinking at the ticket window. The only successful movie that John could boast of was Priyadarshan's GARAM MASALA, way back in 2005 and even the credit for the success went to the Akki-Priyan team.
Things became worse with rumours that Aditya Chopra was miffed with John for having turned down JBJ, but as they say, Bombay's rain and Bollywood's equations are highly unpredictable, and things are really looking up for the handsome hunk.
As we all know that John is back once again with the Yash Raj banner, putting to rest all talks of differences with Aditya Chopra. Yes, John will be seen in Kabir Khan's next project, along with another rising star in Bollywood, Neil Nitin Mukesh and the audience's number one actress, Katrina Kaif. Moreover, there is a buzz that Yash Raj films is planning another multistarrer and we hear that John will play one of the lead roles in that project. So that should shut up the gossip mongers once and for all.
Here is wishing the heartthrob of countless female fans, John Abraham a highly successful comeback in 2008!
