John Welcome Back

Chennai Super Kings on Friday welcomed back three of their international big wigs in Faf du Plessis, Imran Tahir and Dwayne Bravo.

John Walker Lindh's eyes, dark and wild, were ubiquitous across magazine covers and cable news channels, alongside militants in Afghanistan, after he was captured in November 2001. He was a long-haired guerrilla with a California address - a traitor to some, a misguided kid sucked into Islamic jihad to others.

Rocky Handsome, starring John Abraham and Shruti Haasan in the lead, is all set to release on February 5 next year. Shruti, 29, and the John, 42, were recently seen together in Anees Bazmee's Welcome Back

The movie is a sequel to the 2007 box office hit Welcome, which starred Anil Kapoor, Nana Patekar and Akshay Kumar. Anil Kapoor reprises his role as Majnu Bhai while Nana Patekar, once again, leads the hierarchy of gangsters in the family. John Abraham who joins their league as Ajju Bhai

"This film is very special for us because we've made it after a film Welcome, which has been running on TV for the last seven years and which people love a lot. So making the sequel of such a beautiful film is not an easy task," said Anees Bazmee

"I would not produce or act in an adult comedy film. But that doesn't mean I have a problem with it. I am not comfortable doing adult comedies. It is not in my DNA. That's not my space," said John

Welcome Back, which is scheduled for a worldwide release on September 4, will also mark the return of Shiney Ahuja. "He is a good actor and has done a good job in the film. On the first day of the shoot there seemed to be some kind of nervousness with him but he did not show that on his face," said the director

"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," said John

"I don't need reviews to tell me how a film is. When people from my fraternity congratulated me for Madras Cafe and I got appreciation from the audience, it was enough. So, I don't react (to criticism)," said John Abraham

"I believe Mr Patekar is the most honest person in the industry. He is the most transparent man. I would not blame him for getting angry as he shows his anger when someone does wrong. So, I don't blame him. He is a fantastic human being," said John

"It's a very extremist and unfair way of looking at things, but I don't really believe in holidays at all. I think we have too many holidays in this country which is economically a huge loss for the country. So we need to reduce the number of holidays," said John

"For someone to do such great dancing and feel young, one needs to be fit and eat right. I would love to have a body like my Welcome Back co-star John, who is so fit and fine"

"Everyone in this film is lucky for me. I did Taxi No. 9211 with Nana (Patekar), Shootout at Wadala with Anil Kapoor," said John Abraham

"I felt great working in Welcome Back. I never felt nervous or pressurized while shooting for the film, as I'm happy that the film is a sequel," said John Abraham

John Abraham and Akshay Kumar have worked together in films like Garam Masala and Housefull 2
