When John Abraham was denied entry to his debut film's mahurat as he arrived on a bike; actor was asked, "Kaun ho"

John Abraham made his Bollywood debut with the film Aetbaar, starring alongside Hrithik Roshan and Amitabh Bachchan.

Bollywood actor John Abraham recently shared a funny anecdote of the time when he arrived on a bike for his debut film, Aetbaar's Muhurat and he was denied entry.

In an interview with Filmfare, John recently recalled his first muhurat shot for Aetbaar, and shared that he had arrived on a motorcycle. He mentioned that Hrithik Roshan and Amitabh Bachchan had been the ones clapping the board for him. Reminiscing about his bond with Hrithik, he noted that they had been classmates and described him as a sweetheart.

"I was not allowed in, because I was on a motorcycle. The gates were shut and they asked me, ‘Kaun ho?’ (Who are you?) I said, ‘The muhurut is for my film’ and they finally allowed me. As soon as they opened the gates, Amitabh Bachchan and Hrithik Roshan were gesturing at me and saying, ‘Come in’," he said.
