Is John Abraham insecure about Anil Kapoor & Nana Patekar?

18 Aug 2015

If hushed whispers in tinsel town's corridors are to be believed, John Abraham is getting very anxious and jittery about his return to the screen after a two-year old gap in Anees Bazmee's comedy Welcome Back . Sources close to the film who do not wish to be named, whisper about John's growing insecurity. "He is not keen to do team interviews with Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar because those two are natural-born scene stealers at public events. They've an instant connect with live audiences. John is at disadvantage because he's naturally shy and also not fully at home in Hindi." Apparently, he has asked the producers to let him do solo interviews.

Says the source, "But John forgets. Yeh team effort ka zamana hai. Even Akshay Kumar promoted Brothers with Sidharth Malhotra." Director Anees Bazmee defends his leading man stoutly, "I don't think he's uncomfortable promoting the film with Nana and Anil at all. John is not extroverted like Nana and Anil. He takes time to open up. John has been seen at promotional events singing and dancing with them on stage. And he was very comfortable doing so."
