My career has been built on criticism, I enjoy it: John Abraham

Mumbai, Actor-producer John Abraham says he has often been written off in the industry in his over two-decade-long career but his audience has kept him going, something that he respects and wants to repay by telling good stories. My career has been built on criticism, I enjoy it: John Abraham Abraham has hits in varied genres whether it is high-octane actioners like “Dhoom”, “Race 2”, “Satyameva Jayate”, “Dishoom”, and “Pathaan”; comedies such as “Garam Masala”, “Dostana”, “Housefull 2” or dramas like "Water", “No Smoking”, “New York”, “Madras Café”, “Parmanu”, and “Vedaa”. Admitting that he also has been “guilty” of prioritising box office, Abraham said he now recognises the significance of well-crafted stories. But along the way, there is going to be a lot of collateral damage, and you see it every day.” Preparing for the role of JP Singh required Abraham to immerse himself in the character, for which he said he undertook training from actor and acting coach Saurabh Sachdeva, known for his role in “Animal”. “The Diplomat” is produced by Abraham’s JA Entertainment along with T-Series, Vipul D Shah, Ashwin Varde, Rajesh Bahl of Wakaoo Films, Sameer Dixit and Jatish Varma of Fortune Pictures and Rakesh Dang of Seeta Films.
