Hema Malini: Dream Girl of John Abraham

John Abraham, the rising star in Bollywood has recently talked about his dream girl. Can you guess? No, it is not Bipasha Basu, not Ash, not even Rani, Priyanka, Bidyabalan, Katrina….. John’s dream girl is Hema Malini, one of the stars of John’s latest movie Baabul. Regarding this star actress john said:

During 'Baabul' if I had shot one more day with her I'd have fallen in love with her. She's really, really pretty,'

'Hema Malini is either black or white. She always tells you like it is. That's so rare in this industry where people often say one thing, and mean another.

John also talked about some of his other co-star of Baabul including Amitabh Bachchan and also Rani Mukerji. For Mr. Bachchan John said:

But forget about his work ethics. More importantly, he's a nice man. When we meet he makes me feel so comfortable. He exudes a positive energy. I always felt safe in his shadow when I made my debut with him in 'Aetbaar'. Nothing had changed in 'Baabul'.

In addition he is also full of praise to Rani as he said:

I learnt a lot from her. Rani exudes a lot of confidence. Needless to say she's an amazing actress. Working with her and Mr. Bachchan automatically raised the level of my performance.

'I need such support. People forget I'm still so new... only three years in the industry. I'm far behind the rest of my contemporaries.

John Abraham’s another movie Kabul Express has recently been released which has already got much attention and earned huge praise. Regarding his movie Baabul, Kabul Express he expressed his hope that both the movies will earn something good for him. He said:

Baabul is my first masala film. Newcomers generally do conventional films and then go on to the unconventional. I took the opposite route. I first did 'Jism' and 'Saaya' and then came to 'Baabul'. After that I'm again back to being completely unorthodox in 'Kabul Express'. I'm back at the lunatic fringes in 'Kabul'.

But John is equally confident about both his releases.

Kabul Express has been tried before audiences in Toronto and the US. Now I'm very confident about it. I'm sure it will go down well with our audiences. Everyone know the politics of Afghanistan, Pakistan and India, and how we feel about Americans.'

From the socially relevant 'Baabul' to political parable 'Kabul Express', that's a long journey to make!

John chortles. 'People think my choices are crazy. They wonder if I've lost my marbles risking my life in 'Baabul'. Well, all I've to say is, I prefer riding bikes instead of cars.

'I love life on the edge. I love taking risks. I'm very secure about my space in the cinema. I've made my choices and I've stuck by my directors through thick and thin.'

John is now excited about Nagesh Kukunoor's 'Ashaayen'.

'It's so beautiful! My role requires plenty of preparation. Actually, there're two kinds of preparations. One is the big-spectacle preparation where one prepares for the action and dance scenes like 'Dhoom' or 'Cash'. The other kind of preparation is my kind.

'For my roles I've started preparing for those little nuances that add something almost invisible to the role. There're the larger-than-life roles and the life-size roles. I believe in the life-size preparations.

John seems to have a nice time in his career as his movies are getting hit at the box office and he is acting in different roles in different types of movies. However, he has to go a long way to create a distinct position in Bollywood.
