Bollywood actor John Abraham, whose film The Diplomat recently hit the theatres, has recently shared his concerns about the Hindi film industry. The actor also criticized the kind of Bollywood films of the present time and noted that “someone writes an obituary about our industry.”
During a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, the actor was asked about the existing quality of Bollywood content and the increasing amount of it on social media.
The actor agreed, “It is very, very scary. As someone who looks out for the Hindi film industry, I am very worried. I am not saying that I am the flagbearer of doing something different, but I am saying that there are few of us who want to make a difference.”
He admitted that he is a commercial hero and would succeed in a commercial setup, but he also emphasized that when they wanted to make a difference, they should be allowed the freedom to do so.

John elaborated, “That final bridge where we get that extra buck to do what we want to, if that comes through then we as an industry can grow. Because we are making good films now and I know everyday someone writes an obituary about our industry but we are making good films.”
John Abraham was last seen in The Diplomat, alongside Sharib Hashmi, Sadia Khateeb, Kumud Mishra, and Revathy. The film delves into the intense world of diplomacy set against the complex backdrop of India-Pakistan relations.
Directed by Shivam Nair, The Diplomat has achieved notable success at the box office, grossing over Rs 30 crores to date.
