It is learnt that John Abraham has declined to be a part of Shah Rukh Khan's next movie, to be helmed by Farah Khan.
A well-placed industry source tells us that the hunky actor showed some portions of his new movie to SRK. The actor plays a character inspired by the life of Manya Surve, the Mumbai gangster, who was gunned down in an encounter in 1981.
Says our source, "After showing some portion of Shootout At Wadala to SRK, John told him that he was keener to continue playing such intense roles, just like the one he's playing in Race 2," says our source, adding that John felt the part offered to him in the SRK-Farah film was comparatively lighter and not as strong as the ones in his upcoming releases.
Last heard, SRK and Farah are considering other actors to cast in place of Abraham.
