John Abraham excited for Pagalpanti

After hitting the jackpot with his latest film Batla House (2019), which has been doing solid business ever since entering theatres on 15th August, John Abraham is now looking forward to his next Pagalpanti.

Directed by well-known filmmaker Anees Bazmee, Pagalpanti is a multi-starrer comic-caper. Besides John, the much-awaited film also stars an ensemble of talented actors including Anil Kapoor, Ileana D'Cruz, Arshad Warsi, Pulkit Samrat, Kriti Kharbanda, Urvashi Rautela and Saurabh Shukla in important roles.


Talking about the film and how it is going to be different from other comedies that he has done, John Abraham said to a newswire, “The last time I was doing comedy was in Welcome Back (2015). In Pagalpanti, you will see my body language and everything else and you will realise it's not the same John. There will be a visible change.”

The actor added that Anees Bazmee, who last directed him in Welcome Back, was of the view that he has indeed grown in the genre. "I have tried to improve in the genre by leaps and bounds. That's what my director told me. I believe it's very important to improve. Cinema is about entertainment and if I can do a convincing job by making people laugh, it’s amazing. I am excited for the film," he concluded.

Pagalpanti, which has been majorly shot in London, is produced by T-Series Films, Panorama Studios and co-produced by Aditya Chowksey and Sanjeev Joshi. The comic-caper is slated to roll into theatres on November 8, 2019.

Talking about Abraham’s other projects, the handsome hunk is about to begin shooting for Sanjay Gupta’s gangster film Mumbai Saga. The movie also stars Emraan Hashmi in an important role. He has also teamed up with debutant filmmaker Lakshya Raj Anand for an action entertainer titled Attack. The actor-producer is also gearing up to produce a couple of films in association with filmmaker Nikkhil Advani.
