John Abraham on Satyameva Jayate’s clash with Gold: Akshay is a friend, I wish him the best

John Abraham
Actor John Abraham, whose upcoming film Satyameva Jayate will clash with Akshay Kumar starrer Gold on August 15, said the two films can release on the same day as the stories are different. This Independence Day three films will be clashing at the box office – Satyameva Jayate, Gold and Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se, which stars Dharmendra, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol.
“Akshay is a friend, I wish him the best. Two films can release on the same day as both the films are of different genres,” John told reporters at the trailer launch of Satyameva Jayate. Director Milap Zaveri said, “I wish Gold all the best. I wish and hope all the films that are releasing on August 15 get a positive response and do good business.”
John said Satyameva Jayate is a commercial entertainer with patriotism at its core. “We have spoken about patriotism, corruption. This is an unfiltered commercial film. It has everything from drama to action,” he said.

Akshay and John, who have worked together in films like Garam Masala, Housefull 2 and Desi Boyz, are the two stars from Bollywood who are exploring the genre of patriotic films. When asked if there is a healthy competition between him and Akshay, John said, “I do films that I like in terms of script. I enjoyed making Parmanu and I like this space. I am doing RAW and then I have Batla House. It depends on what you want to do at that point of time. Each actor is entitled to choose what they want to do next. Akshay is doing a comedy film next,” John said.
For Satyameva Jayate, John has once again collaborated with actor Manoj Bajpayee after Shootout At Wadala. Calling Bajpayee as an institution of acting, the Parmanu actor said, “He is one of the greatest actors we have in Hindi cinema. Sharing screen time with him is special. For people like me, working with Manoj Bajpayee is like watching a film.”
Praising John and the film, Bajpayee said, “We have worked together and it was a great experience. The attitude of people changes Friday to Friday, but John has remained the same. That is why he has come so far and achieved so much. We talk about nepotism and all, here is John Abraham who has been part of good and successful film as an outsider. I feel that nicety and hard work never fails.”

Emma Thompson: I was always paid less than my male counterparts

Emma Thompson says she was always paid less than her male colleagues. The 59-year-old actor-writer said women are still treated as “second-class citizens”. She also advocated to publish salaries to reveal the gender pay gap. “I was always paid less than my male counterparts. Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional. This is the fact: this person does the same work for less money, and that’s just wrong,” Thompson told Good Housekeeping magazine.

Bobby Deol was the ‘it boy’ of the 90s but will his comeback still hold that charm?

With his curly hair, bobbling head and round sunglasses, we still think of “ Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela ” when we think of Bobby Deol. After a string of popular films like Gupt and Soldier among others, Bobby made quite a name for himself in the 90s. Bobby was never known for his acting chops. What he was known for was his swag, even though the word did not exist back in the day. His undeniable charisma and those long wavy hair made him stand out in the crowd. The 90s were a much simpler time. Words like nepotism weren’t thrown around before a star kid’s debut and hence, Bobby Deol was proudly known as  Dharmendra ’s younger son. His older brother  Sunny Deol  was already the  dhai -kilo-ka-haath man and here was Bobby, trying to make googly eyes at the ladies. It was expected that with Bobby entering the world of movies, this family would turn into a crackling team. Gupt, one of the rare Hindi films that really holds your attention till the end, was quite a hit...
