Director Sajid Khan was all praise for John Abraham while talking to media persons on the sidelines of the trailer launch of his upcoming film, Housefull 2. Sajid said that John had learnt a lot and had become a more mature person and actor.

“I hopefully promise him (John) his first 100 crore film,” Sajid said. “You will see an absolutely new John Abraham in this film; he doesn’t even know how good he is at comedy,” the director added.

When asked how much Housefull 2 would rake in at the box-office, Sajid said that he used to be more outspoken two years ago, when Housefull had released, but had changed his manner of talking since then. “I will not make any bets about the business of this film but I hope it will do well,” was all he said.

John Abraham said that he was “not sure” if he would be able to carry off comedy with such finesse once again. “Sajid surprised me and I surprised myself,” the actor said, referring to his performance in Housefull 2.

The trailer launch of Housefull 2 was organised at a Mumbai multiplex on 9 February 2012. It was attended by the cast and crew of the film, which is slated to release on 5 April 2012.
