Akshay played the lead role in the 2007 film Welcome. John will be playing the lead role in its sequel.

Highlights

  • John Abraham has replaced Akshay Kumar in Welcome Back, a sequel to Welcome, and says that the Bollywood Khiladi is "happiest" for him.
  • In the 2007 hit comedy Welcome, Akshay played the main lead.
  • "Akshay is like my elder brother. Whatever I do, I always have a lot of discussions, especially with him. Akshay is happiest for me when I told him that I am doing Welcome Back. He said it's a very good film and you should do it," the 40-year-old said on the sets of TV show Bade Acche Lagte Hain where he was promoting his film Shootout at Wadala.
  • "It's an outstanding script, kids will love it and I am looking forward to doing it," he added.
  • John has reportedly charged Rs 15 crore for Welcome Back, but did not confirm the news.
  • "As far as money is concerned, I don't talk about money at all as I think it's not as important. I charge because I think I deserve it. But I give it to charity because I think that's more important," John said.
  • John's next film is much-talked about real life-based crime thriller Shootout At Wadala, in which he is playing gangster Manya Surve who was gunned down in the Mumbai police's first official encounter. A host of actors like Anil Kapoor, Tusshar Kapoor, Manoj Bajpayee and Mahesh Manjrekar feature in it.
  • But John misses Kangana Ranaut during the promotions of Shootout at Wadala. The actress plays his love interest in the film.
  • "Kangana will join us for the promotions, but right now she is shooting for some film. I miss Kangana a lot and people may not know that Manya Surve's romantic track is one of the most beautiful romantic tracks, a tragic love story," John said.
  • "Kangana has done an outstanding job. We all are missing her and we hope to see her soon," added John.
  • Directed by Sanjay Gupta, Shootout at Wadala hits theatres on May 3.
