John Abraham pleads forgiveness from Aditya Chopra

John Abraham

John Abraham has gotten carried away with his star status but fortunately for him, seems to have realized it just in time. Not so long ago, Abraham kicked Yash Raj Films' 'Jhoom Barabar Jhoom' (directed by Shaad Ali of 'Saathiya' fame) but a recent change of mind made him plead forgiveness to Aditya Chopra, whom he left in the lurch after saying yes to the parallel role opposite Abhishek Bachchan. Bobby Deol is now doing John's role.

The realization dawned on Abraham, courtesy Salman Khan. According to a well-placed source, "During one of their moments of friction (when Salman was promoting Mallika Sherawat) at the recent Rockstar show, Salman unknowingly gave some gyan to John."

The source dismisses Abraham's effort to clear the air in the press that no such panga ever happened, as rubbish. "The panga very much happened. During a heated argument, Khan told Abraham that he did not realize what he was doing. Khan told him that he was crossing swords with too many people, including Yash Raj Films which is such a big and influential production house."

"Salman ne kaha to bahut hi gusse mein tha, lekin woh baat, John ke dil se lag gayi. He realized the long-term consequences of his newly developed starry attitude. He sat down and calculated that half the industry will shun him if he doesn't patch up with Yash Raj Films, who enjoy high respect and a following in the film fraternity. He decided to meet Aditya Chopra and say that he was sorry about his decision in walking out of Shaad's directorial 'Jhoom Barabar Jhoom'."

So how did Abraham set about to ask forgiveness from Yash Raj Films on the friction, which involved a phone call from Aditya Chopra telling him that he wouldn't work with them again (this was before John departed for the Rockstar show)? "Coming back from the Rockstar show, John went to Aditya. Aditya was in no mood to see him. John waited, waited and waited, but Aditya kept him at bay."

When contacted, Shaad Ali did not deny that such an incident had taken place, but all he would say is, "I do not talk about my films in advance. The two people involved are Aditya Chopra and John Abraham. Why don't you ask John? He will tell you."

We went all out to contact Abraham, but he was unavailable for comment. We sent him a message, saying that we wanted to know about his recent encounter with Aditya Chopra. But the actor did not revert back. A source close to John told us, "John has indeed become inaccessible. He has virtually stopped responding to calls and messages. His tomorrow never comes. I myself have been running after him and lost weight in process."
