After a long hiatus, John Abraham has returned to Hindi cinema with action-drama film, Vedaa, opposite Sharvari. The movie promises to be a high-octane action flick. As the actor is busy promoting his film, he recently opened up about the challenging phase of his career when he was sidelined by the industry.

John Abraham last appeared as the main antagonist in the Shah Rukh Khan starrer Pathaan. Before that, the actor starred in the lead role in Satyameva Jayate in 2018. Reflecting on the four years he spent without work, he admitted that he took matters into his own hands and proved to the industry that he was more than just an action hero.

During an interview with Ranveer Allahbadia, the actor was asked why he decided to become a producer. John Abraham said, “Because the movies I was doing and the movies I was watching, I was not happy (with them). I wanted to change things… Everybody’s life has an X and a Y axis. A Z-axis came into my life. Suddenly, people started seeing me as more than just a bulky guy. They began to believe that I had brains, too. They realised that I can make different kinds of films, like Vicky Donor, Parmanu, Batla House… The first defining point in my life was Jism, then Dhoom, and then when I became a producer.”
