‘GONE' ABRAHAM! CAN JOHN SURVIVE THE ‘WORST ACTOR' TAG? May 2009

THERE’S A RUMOUR doing the industry rounds. A few weeks ago, director David Dhawan was shooting his next film ‘Hook Ya Crook’ in Hyderabad. Dhawan, who has worked with some of the finest actors in the industry, is known to have a cool temperament. Rarely does he lose his cool and the film unit was in for a rude shock when he tried to keep his frustrations in check when lead actor John Abraham couldn’t get his lines right. It was literally the test of David’s patience. Unable to contain his disappointment, the director had no option but to call for a break. Even John’s co-actors in the film, Shreyas Talpade and Kay Kay Menon, were shocked to see the tension erupting on the set. When we tried contacting John, he simply refused to respond. And the news died its own death within the confines of the unit.

Meet the super talented Manoj Bajpayee, an actor par excellence, who in a candid interview with Sumita Chakraborty talks about his eventful journey as an actor, his films and the OTT, and gives an honest take on ‘insiders versus outsiders’ and more.
