John Upset

John Abraham, the handsome hunk of bollywood, is very upset with director Sriram Raghavan for not starting the shooting of his romantic flick in which he has been paired opposite gorgeous Aishwarya Rai.

John wants this film to start as soon as possible as only this film can salvage his fast depleting market value at the box office, after he delivered a series of duds like ‘ Kabul Express’, ‘ Salaam-e- Ishq’, and ‘ No Smoking’.

In fact, John Abraham has kept his schedule free for this film from last December as the film was slated to go on the floors by that time, but due to some problem in finalization of the script on the part of director, it could not go on as planned. Sources say that John Abraham has been constantly reminding the director to start work but Sriram Raghavan is still not convinced about the second half of the film and wants to make some changes in the script before going on the floors.

On the one hand, John Abraham has been waiting for the film to start since last December and on the other hand, Aishwarya Rai, who is supposed to play the female lead, has yet not given any dates for the film. Though in principle the gorgeous beauty has given her consent to producer Rohan Sippy to work in the film, but before giving exact dates for the shooting, she wants to read the final bound script of the film. So till the time director gives final script to Ash and she is satisfied with that, shooting is unlikely to start.

This is not for the first time that a film starring John Abraham with Aishwarya Rai is in trouble. Earlier too they were supposed to work together in Gaurang Doshi’s big budget film ‘ Happy Birthday’, but somehow things did not work out and Aishwarya had refused to work with the director. The industry was abuzz with the talk of Ash opting out of the film due to Gaurang’s ill-treatment of his girlfriend and subsequent police case. At a later stage, even John Abraham had opted out of the film and it was shelved forever.

Now, it will be interesting to see if this film by Sriram Raghavan of ‘ Johnny Gaddar’ and ‘ Ek Haseena Thi’ fame salvages John Abraham’s reputation at the box office or gets itself shelved due to Aishwarya Rai or some script problem.
