Nagesh Kukunoor’s Aashayein featuring John Abraham is the one of the most awaited films this summer. John Abraham is glad that he got the opportunity to work with Kukunoor because this movie has the potential to establish John as a serious actor over his eye-candy image.

John has worked hard for his role in the movie. He began with losing 14kgs to suit his role. What more he shot this movie in one of the most difficult times of his life. His mom and dad were ailing with different health problems both admitted into different hospitals. Worse John could not be by their side in the situation.

Recalling the harrowing period John says, “Illnesses in the family do scare you a lot. I really believe I’m a family person. My parents are the most important people to me. Their health is very important to me.”

Thorough professional that he is, he used his sorrow for creative satisfaction. “Looking with or without regret is honestly not my space. I’d much rather would look ahead. I believe there’s a third axis beyond contentment and regret, and that’s my axis. I can’t have a two-dimensional attitude to my work. I’ll always look and find the third dimension”

Hope this film adds a new dimension to his career too!
