John Abraham’s career on the up and up

John Abraham is on the crest of a wave right now. He is busy garnering appreciation and adulation coming his way from various corners for a power-packed performance in his latest offering Batla House (2019).

Inspired by true events of the infamous Batla House encounter of 2008, the thriller had the actor in the role of ACP Sanjay Kumar who spearheaded the operation. Not only the audience but critics also showered praises on the actor for delivering an outstanding performance in the flick.


After the huge success of the Nikkhil Advani directorial at the cash counter, John is now looking forward to his next films. The beefy actor has got a lot on his plate, but he does not mind adding a few more interesting subjects to his repertoire of upcoming films.

Abraham will next be seen in filmmaker Anees Bazmee’s rib-tickling comedy Pagalpanti. Besides him, the much-awaited movie also has Anil Kapoor, Arshad Warsi, Ileana D’Cruz and Kriti Kharbanda in important roles. Apart from Pagalpanti, John also has on his plate such exciting films as 1911, Attack, Satyameva Jayate 2, Mumbai Saga and an untitled film with filmmaker Rensil D’Silva.

The actor is also rumoured to be headlining the remake of Hollywood biggie The Transporter (2002), as well as the Hindi remake of Tamil film Vedalam (2015). Reportedly, T-Series Films have procured the remake rights of the Tamil blockbuster and want John to topline it.

His incredibly long list of upcoming films makes one thing clear that John Abraham has emerged as one of the most bankable actors in Bollywood over the year. Today, he is the go-to actor when it comes to high-octane action entertainers and flicks imbued with patriotic fervour. Looking at his track record, it won’t be an exaggeration to say that John Abraham has finally arrived.

Nick Jonas says it's 'scary' to imagine daughter Malti in showbiz after what he and Priyanka faced

Nick Jonas is no stranger to fame. From performing on Broadway as a child to becoming one-third of the Jonas Brothers, he’s spent most of his life under the spotlight. His wife, Priyanka Chopra, entered the world of glamour as a teenager, winning Miss World at 18 before making it big in Bollywood and then Hollywood. So, it’s only natural that people are curious whether their daughter, Malti Marie, might follow in their footsteps.

During a recent appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Nick opened up about the possibility. When asked whether he’d be okay with his daughter getting into the entertainment industry at a young age, he paused before saying it’s a decision she’ll have to make herself. While three-year-old Malti already enjoys singing, Nick admitted that the idea of her stepping into such a demanding field so early is unsettling.

Akshay Kumar tells King Charles to watch Kesari 2: “You’ll know why the British should say sorry”

Akshay Kumar isn’t asking for an apology. He just wants the British to look back and really see what happened. With his upcoming film Kesari Chapter 2 hitting screens on April 18, the actor is urging both the UK government and King Charles to watch the film and confront a dark chapter in colonial history.

The film, directed by Karan Singh Tyagi and based on The Case That Shook the Empire by Raghu and Pushpa Palat, tells the story of C. Sankaran Nair, a Malayali lawyer who took legal action against General Dyer and the British government after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919. The massacre when British troops opened fire on a peaceful crowd remains one of the most horrific events of British rule in India.
