At the recent trailer launch for the movie “Vedaa“, Bollywood actor John Abraham was involved in a heated exchange with a journalist, a moment that quickly went viral. Known for his commanding presence both on and off the screen, John did not hold back when questioned about his choice of roles. This interaction has sparked widespread discussion, highlighting the actor’s candid approach and unfiltered responses.
During the press conference for “Vedaa“, a journalist’s suggestion that John should “do something new” led to a sharp reply from the actor: “Aapne film dekhi hai (Have you seen the film)? Can I call out bad questions and idiots?” When it was implied that the trailer suggested yet another typical action film from him, John responded firmly, “Nahi, main to aapko sirf directly kehna chahta hoon ki ye film alag hai. Mere hisab se to it is a very intense performance jo maine kara hai. Of course, aapne film dekhi nahi hai. (No, I just want to tell you that this is a different kind of movie. According to me, it is a very intense performance of mine. Of course, you haven’t seen the film.)”
The incident occurred during the Q-and-A session at the “Vedaa” trailer launch, where John was joined by co-stars Sharvari, Abhishek Banerjee, and director Nikkhil Advani, among others. Adding a touch of humor to the intense moment, John quipped, “But if you are wrong, I am going to turn you around and tear you apart (laughs)!” This blend of humor and assertiveness showcased his confidence in the film and his unwavering support for his artistic choices.

It’s beautiful!” His heartfelt words highlighted the emotional depth of the film, revealing a different facet of his involvement in the project.
