John Abraham has replaced Akshay Kumar in Welcome Back
Mumbai:
Bollywood actor John Abraham, who has replaced Akshay Kumar in Welcome Back, says that their bond is still strong as ever.
"When I signed Welcome Back, the first person I called was Akshay. I don't know how relationships pan out in our industry, but I love him. Akshay is like my elder brother. He was extremely happy. Further, he told me to do the film and also said that Anees bhai is a brilliant director. He was very excited and encouraging," said John.
John and Akshay have worked together in Garam Masala, Housefull 2 and Desi Boyz.
"I have worked with Akshay in several films and have also learned a lot from him. In case, there is a first trial of the film, we would perhaps call Akshay first as he will be very happy to attend it. I am happy to have found a good friend in Akshay and we have a beautiful relationship," added John.
Directed by Anees Bazmee, Welcome Back, which is a sequel to the 2007 blockbuster comedy Welcome, is slated to hit the theatres on September 4.
