When John Abraham Clearly Declined To Promote Parmanu In A Mall!

As actors John Abraham and Diana Penty undertook a ride on an open jeep in the inner circle of Delhi’s Connaught Place to promote their forthcoming film Parmanu – The Story of Pokhran, the crowd followed them on what they called the Parmanu Pride Parade.

Star-struck fans walked along and cars and scooters surrounded the jeep, with people trying to capture the two celebrities on their smartphones. They took 15 minutes to complete a round.

Explaining the unique idea, John told IANS here: “Honestly, I was asked to go to a mall where there are 20,000 people. But I said ‘Listen, our film is not about a mall, so let’s use this as an excuse to let people feel proud about the country’. We only hear negative things in the news about India and it’s quite disheartening.”

“So I thought let’s use today, make it an example and get people out and ask them what it is it about India that they love.”
