John Abraham has certainly come a long way from being just an ‘urban’ audience star. The ‘Dhoom’ hunk is immensely popular in small-towns too as was proved in Jaipur on Sunday, where the actor was judging a Castrol organised bike event. “I’ve been to Jaipur before, but I was a struggling model then. Fortunately, things are different now,” he says.
Public adulation aside, John has been dogged by several controversies of late. Sample this: there was a motor-bike accident in Bandra this April, a supposed break-up and subsequent patch-up with girlfriend Bipasha Basu and of course, the recently reported problems with Salman Khan while on the ‘Rock Stars’ tour.
“It was all needlessly hyped. Salman and I got along really well,” says Abraham.
Luckily for him, his professional life is rocking. Three films are almost ready for release and he has just signed on two more projects. “I want to choose the right kind of films now. I don’t want to over expose myself.”
While he clearly doesn’t want to burn his fingers with too much work, he’s not averse to reading good scripts. “I want to act in films that I would enjoy as a viewer. The script has to have a conviction in it,” he explains.
