MUMBAI: He scored a bull’s eye with his debut production “Vicky Donor”, but John Abraham says he hasn’t cracked any success formula. The success, he says, just lies in doing good work, and in knowing what makes the youth happy.
The 39-year-old cringed upon being asked how he managed to crack the “formula” in the first go.
“See… honestly, if something goes wrong tomorrow, you’ll say ‘What went wrong?’ It’s normal! So rather than basking in the limelight and saying ‘Hey listen, everything is fine’, the important thing is to continue doing good work,” said John.
“I think the formula is very simple as far as I am concerned. As an individual, I believe I know what makes the youth happy in terms of films, and I want to make films for young people, who can go and say ‘Hey, this is really nice, this was a lot of fun and sensible too.’ So that’s the space I want to operate now and I am enjoying that space,” he added.
It’s unconventional for actors-turned-producers to let newcomers take center stage, but John didn’t think twice about letting Ayushmann Khurrana act in “Vicky Donor”, a film with a subject as strong as sperm donation. The reason?
