Bollywood actor John Abraham said that he was not comfortable with comedy films initially.
The 42-year-old actor will be seen in Anees Bazmee's Welcome Back, which is a sequel to the 2007 hit film Welcome. The movie also stars Nana Patekar, Anil Kapoor and Shruti Haasan apart from others.
"Initially, I wasn't comfortable with comedies at all. During Garam Masala, my first scene was with Rajpal Yadav and Paresh Rawal. I was shaken up. I was very new then. I thought I wouldn't be able to do it. I give credit to Priyadarshan sir, Neeraj Vohra and Akshay Kumar for helping me reach here," said John.
John has featured in a good mix of action and comedy movies ranging from Force to Desi Boyz.
After Welcome Back, John will be seen in Nishikant Kamat's Rocky Handsome. John is also co-producing the movie. The film also stars Shruti.
"Rocky Handsome has the best action till date in Indian cinema. It has the most intense action. The film has the perfect combination of action and emotion," said John.
John has also produced two movies - Vicky Donor and Madras Cafe;, which was set in the period of Indian intervention in the Sri Lankan civil war and assassination of former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.(Also Read: John Abraham to Lose 20 Kilos for Shoojit Sircar's 1911)
"Vicky Donor was a serious film. It wasn't a joke. People enjoyed it but it was a very serious film on sperm donation. Just like that I produced Madras Café because it impacted my life while growing up. So, I will only make movies like that. I will produce movies like Madras Café and Vicky Donor," said John.
The success of Vicky Donor gave rise to speculations that a sequel would follow. However, John said that there was no such script that he would like to move forward with.
"Vicky Donor is one such film, where at this point of time we would not want to make a sequel. If we get a good script, we will definitely make it because that's the biggest property we have. There are some films that should just remain like that," said John.
"Every film can't get a sequel. For example Dostana should not get a sequel because when the film released, homosexuality was a taboo. You made the film at that time, it was fine. Now if you stretch the same subject, the audience will say the original was good, how did they make the second part," he added.
