John Abraham learns to play guitar!

Bollywood’s dashing star John Abraham is busy learning the six-string for a movie role.

John is playing a musician in Imtiaz Ali's Rock Star , where his fans will see him as a long-haired rocker playing guitar. According to John, people are very wise today and they can judge whether the actor is actually performing or faking and he doesn’t want to leave any loophole in his performance.

“I don't want to be an actor just to look good and wear trendy clothes on screen. I want to go deeper into my character. It's great fun to prepare for a role. I'm soon going to get those chords right,” John is quoted as saying.

Incidentally, John previously learnt to play flute for Deepa Mehta’s Water which is the Canadian entry for the Oscars.

John is currently working in Sriram Raghavan’s Happy Birthday , Nagesh Kukunoor’s Aashayein and Anurag Kashyap’s No Smoking . He has also clinched a plum role in Deepa Mehta’s next film titled ‘The Exclusion’.

'Don' team pairs up with John, Indian cricket team

'Don' trio of Shahrukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor have joined hands with John Abraham and the Indian cricket team. Sounds like an odd combination, isn't it? Is it for a film? No, in fact this group of individuals has come together to promote the ICC Championship trophy by means of a music video that also celebrates the greatness of India.

Titled 'Aaya India', the music video features SRK leading the bunch with the famous FEVICOL man making an appearance too. A rhythmic number with the sound of 'Hoo Haa...India, Aaya India' catching up instantly, it is composed by Vishal Shekhar with Sukhwinder Singh in tremendous form yet again.

The cricketers featuring in the song are Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Harbhajan Singh, Mohammad Kaif and Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

John Abraham`s romance with Toronto

Dashing John Abraham , accompanied by Bipasha Basu , has been in Toronto right from day one of the ongoing international film festival.

John may not have had Indian fans swarming all around him like Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan did earlier on in the event, but the media attention he has attracted has been no less.

In Toronto for the special presentation of Kabir Khan 's thriller Kabul Express , John addressed a press conference at the downtown Sutton Place Hotel Thursday in the company of the film's Kabir and co-star Arshad Warsi .

‘Kabul Express’ hasn't exactly floored local critics – one of them described the film as "the most sublimely terrible movie in this year's festival" – but that hasn't exactly affected John's considerable fan following in Toronto.

The reason is pretty obvious: his fame here rests solely on his widely lauded performance as a Gandhian idealist in Deepa Mehta 's Water , which was the opening night film of the 2005 edition of the festival.

John is now due to play a role in Mehta's next film - the $15 million ‘Exclusion’, based on the ill-fated 1914 Komagata Maru voyage that ended well short of Vancouver in the face of the racial laws that prevailed in Canada back then.

So there is reason to believe that John's romance with Toronto is far from over.

Nagesh Kukunoor signs John Abraham

Nagesh Kukunoor is known for hard-hitting small budget films. The director of films like HYDERABAD BLUES and IQBAL is finally treading the conventional Bollywood path. After Ayesha Takia in DOR, it's John Abraham in his next film- AASHAYEIN. Percept Picture Company (PPC) will produce the film and as the title suggests, it's about hope. Nagesh informed a tabloid that John plays an idle guy in the film who waits for luck to change things for him. One day he wins a huge sum of money and on the same day he discovers that he has cancer. So the story basically revolves around how he deals with the situation.

Nagesh's next film is titled BEMISAL and apparently he wants Abhishek Bachchan and Rani Mukherjee for this film. It is inspired by a true story and is still in the scripting stage.
