John Abraham has finally confirmed that he will marry his girlfriend Priya Runchal this year. Interestingly, he says the wedding could take place within months, or weeks, or even days. Expect a surprise!

Life begins at 40. The pithy proverb holds true for the 39-year-old John Abraham who’s on the cusp of starting a new innings in his life: as a husband. Lately there have been rumours about the actor planning to get married, with some gossipmongers even going on to claim that he got secretly married to Priya in Los Angeles a few months back, but John is now at last ready to lead his ladylove to the altar.

“Priya and I have decided to get married this year,” John Abraham confirms in an interview with TOI.

The actor says since he’s an impulsive soul — but then, who isn’t when it comes to marrying pretty ladies — he might even get married to Priya next week. More

After “Force”, there’s some more action up the sleeves of Bollywood heartthrob John Abraham. The actor has once again signed up to play a cop in director Aditya Bhattacharya’s new film Kala Ghoda which will also feature Kunaal Roy Kapoor of “Delhi Belly” fame.

“Kala Ghoda”, set in the Mumbai underbelly, will be shot in real time on actual locations and promises some real action.

“It’s the story of two cops, one hard-nosed no-nonsense and volatile played by John and the other a goofy ineffectual bumbling cop, played by Kunaal Roy Kapoor, who come together under trying circumstances for one night of relentless action in Mumbai,” said Aditya, who is Bimal Roy’s grandson and director Basu Bhattacharya’s son.

Director Sajid Khan, whose third directorial venture Housefull 2 is ready to hit the screens, says he is confident the film will be a blockbuster as he makes films by placing himself in the audience’s seat.

“Only a good film will work. If my film is not good then it will not work beyond Monday. But I can say it with a lot of confidence that this film (‘Housefull 2′) is a blockbuster. I am not saying this because this is my film but because I have made this film according to the audience. Every film I make, I make it as an audience,” the 40-year-old said here at a promotional event for “Housefull 2″.

Sajid Khan says it’s the family audiences that make a film a hit. “The day my film does not work, then no matter how many tie ups I do, it will not work at all. It will work when you people go and watch it with your family,” he said. More

You may accuse us of reading between the lines, but John Abraham’s marital advice to his Housefull 2 co-star Asin calls for some attention.

John and Asin bonded so well while working together on Housefull 2 that John even gave her a marriage advice. Since Asin is a Malayali and used to leave John dumbstruck whenever she rattled on in Malayalam which is as good as Greek to John, the actor advised her to get married to a half-Mallu.

Interestingly, John Abraham himself happens to be a half-Mallu since his dad is a Malayali. Which makes us wonder if John was insinuating at something in his marital advice to Asin. More

Actor John Abraham is now focusing on promoting Vicky Donor, his first film as producer. The film speaks about sperm donation, which John said he truly believes in.

“I completely believe in sperm donation. It’s a topic that needs to be addressed, needs to be spoken. There are 50 percent more childless couples so it’s a topic that needs to be spoken,” John said during the first-look launch of “Vicky Donor” at Cinemax.

“I would donate my sperm for a social cause. There are industrialists, police officers, people from army donating sperm because they want to keep their sperm aside because they are not sure whether they will be back from their battle. I would definitely do it,” he said.

An Eros co-production with John’s banner JA Entertainment Production, “Vicky Donor” has been directed by Shoojit Sircar. It stars veejay Ayushyamann Khurrana in his debut role along with Annu Kapoor and Yami Gautam.

“When Shoojit showed me the script, it was very clear the script wanted new faces. His films are brilliant and beautiful. When you see the trailers, you will realise that we have made the best choice by casting them,” he said. More

He’s one drool-worthy hunk who’s now gearing up on his film venture plans with his JA Productions. John Abraham is all beaming away with Vicky Donor, the premier flick from his production house being helmed by Shoojit Sircar.

Although acting in movies will remain his mainstay, John is all keen on giving a Force-ful thrust to his career in cinebiz by dabbling in production. What’s better, the actor is also eager to helm a film in the future.

The star, however, is clear about the kind of flicks that he’d like to direct in the future. “Films that are mainstream commercial projects and are entertainers is what I’m looking at,” John is quoted to have said.

Apart from the narcissistic business of acting, John also has his heart set on charity, expressly making endeavours for Shiksha, an NGO that helps close to 3 lakh underprivileged children have access to education. More

John Abraham’s priorities are clear — he loves acting on screen and supporting social causes, but doesn’t like dancing at weddings.

“I go more for social events as compared to commercial events. People ask me why I don’t dance at marriages. I don’t like it. I don’t want to make so much money. I like coming to schools and talking to children. This is what I like,” the 39-year-old said here at a P&G event.

John has been associated with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and the Lilavati Hospital and Research Centre to which he has also donated Rs.10 lakh. He even has his own brigade called John’s Brigade for Habitat for Humanity, a Jimmy Carter Foundation project. More

Hrithik Roshan  might have won millions of hearts owing to his fit shape but there is someone who thinks Hrithik is not actually the fittest actor in town.

Yes, you heard it right. John Abraham does not agree to the popular perception of Hrithik being the fittest actor in town and the actor has his own good reasons to claim so. Says John, “There is no bollywood actor who is a perfect example of fitness. Hrithik has a great upper body but that is not enough. If I have to name one actor who I am impressed with as far as fitness is concerned, it will be Akshay Kumar.”

John also has some tips for the Indian men as far as fitness is concerned. He adds, “I would advise Indian men to care for their lower body workout too. Fitness is not having bulging biceps and a great chest alone. Working out your legs is as important as the upper body.”

Well, let’s see if Hrithik has anything to say to add to John’s claim. Source

He’s recently been quoted saying that he wants to get married now, and looks like John Abraham is well prepared for it. Quite a handyman at home, the actor knows exactly what’s kept where and keeps full track of his ration too.

Recently seen in Desi Boys, this eyecandy of Bollywood talks to CS about being a regular boy:

The homemaker
I’m pretty good at managing my home. I know exactly where my utensils are and where my ration is.

I know when something needs to be replaced and I don’t waste too much time in doing that. I know what my bills are and when they’re due.

I don’t think it’s a big deal in operating home appliances like the washing machine etc myself. But yes, I’ve still not been able to figure out how to use a microwave. More

The script of the sequel to his 2008 film “Dostana” is locked and the movie is ready to go on the floors in 2012, with Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham back in the frame, informs filmmaker Karan Johar.

“DOSTANA 2 is definitely starting next year….Script is locked…Abhishek and John are ready!!! The boys are back!! Tarun (director Tarun Mansukhani) is all set….,” Johar posted on his Twitter page.

The original, youthful romantic comedy, about three friends, featuring Priyanka Chopra in the female lead, was a blockbuster.

The boys are the same for the sequel, but Katrina Kaif has replaced Priyanka as the female lead. Source

The DESI BOYZ Music launch was one helluva event.

Living upto their on-screen persona, Akshay Kumar and John Abraham did what not at the event. From lifting up and twirling their respective leading ladies – Chitrangada Singh & Deepika Padukone in air to juggling bottles like bartenders to flinging their coats in audience or tearing off their shirts from shoulders to a live fire-breathing stunt, Akshay & John energetically promoted their film.

John and Akshay broke into a jig as they entered and gave a stupendous performance on the film’s popular number ‘English Thumkein’.

While John and Akshay were seen in a same outfit (custom-made) the two dazzling ladies, Chitrangada and Deepika sizzled in their respective short dress and both looked fabulous.

Director Rohit Dhawan, son of filmmaker David Dhawan, was also present at the event. Source

Six years after ‘Garam Masala’, Akshay Kumar and John Abraham have teamed up again to entertain people with their new action-comedy ‘Desi Boyz’. The latter can’t stop heaping praise on his co-star and says that he is the ‘fittest man’ in the industry.

“Akshay has always been a guiding force from ‘Garam Masala’ itself. I was very raw then. I have learnt a lot from him,” said John.

John, who built a muscular body for his last release ‘Force’, even feels Akshay is fit as a fiddle at 44.

“Even during ‘Force’ I was always asked who is the fittest man in the industry and I have always said it is Akshay Kumar and I stand by it. He is a true inspiration in a lot more ways than one. To look so fit and handsome all the time is really difficult and he does it all the time,” added John. More
