In the film they are playing a couple. "Abhishek is not a co-star or a colleague. He's a friend. I dote on him. I love him to death. We never compete. We complement each other in 'Dostana'. We share a great chemistry. Abhishek and I are a couple in the film", John told. After Dhoom, this is the second flick that the duo is doing together. They share an incredible rapport and quite happy to be together once more.
Commenting about Abhishek and John being the new couple in town Karan says, "I am very happy with their on-screen chemistry. In fact, Abhishek told me that John and he should win the Jodi No 1 award next year there's such fantastic bromance between them!
Abhishek Bachchan Talk about John and Dostana.
“John's the bod, I'm the attitude, you see!" Abhishek Bachchan
While many an ass-et is being displayed these days – Priyanka's oomphy curves, John's butt...- not much hoo-ha is being made of the 'more covered' Abhishek Bachchan. He must've felt left out in this body-show on the beautiful beaches of Miami. Sorry dearies, our stubbled hottie isn't the insecure types you know, and about the amount of attention his fellow-actors are receiving, well, Abhsihek can 'bear' it all!
He tells us, "My director just didn't want me to show skin. What to do? My role didn't require me to expose... But that's fine. John's the bod, I'm the attitude, you see!" Having lost considerable weight, is the actor gunning for a six-pack, too, these days? He smiles, "No, not yet, I'm doing pretty well with my family pack actually... No director has asked me to achieve a six-pack for a film. But if required, I'd be very happy to do so."
Playing gay on-screen, Abhishek was touted to be a gay icon sometime ago. "Apparently so, and why not? I bow to the gay fraternity," states Bachchan Jr., "Appreciation and love from any quarter is welcome." About men having made passes at him, the actor confesses, "There has been no such luck. Never mind men making passes at me, even the women never have. Damn! What a life!"
John Abraham Talk About Abhishek and Dostana.
“I dote on Abhishek. I love him to death” John Abraham.
He has flaunted his dynamic physique in many of his films and the latest being Dostana. Young girls die over his well-toned body, style and feature; they feel that John has a sizzling sex appeal that can make anyone fall weak in his knees. John Abraham is amongst the 10 sexiest men of the world.
John is still not accustomed to all the public attention and says modestly, "When people tell me I'm good-looking, my immediate reaction is to wonder if they mean it. So I just smile. At times it becomes uncomfortable, but I appreciate the compliment."
How was it working with Abhishek after ‘Dhoom’?
I love Abhishek, but not in a ‘Dostana’ sense. But I think he is a great human being. Abhishek is superb. We share a great chemistry. We don’t compete with each other in fact we compliment each other. You will see it when you watch the film and you will come out of the film saying that very rarely have we seen two men sharing this kind of chemistry that these two men have shared. And Abhishek keeps joking that after Shah Rukh and Kajol it’s going to be John and Abhishek. It’s really an amazing chemistry that we have shared in this film and it comes across the screen so honestly because the camera catches everything, you cannot lie to the camera. If there is a sense of insecurity or competition then it will show. In our case it’s completely an honest and natural chemistry.
The film is about friendship, what role does friendship play in your personal life?
There are few friends whom I consider as close as, or closer than my family. So I think friendship is something very dear and near to me and I live for my friends. The concept of friendship is alien concept outside some of our countries but still it’s a beautiful concept that lot of us adopt because it makes the world a better place to live in.
Any memorable incident during the shoot of the film?
‘Dostana’ had only memorable incidents, nothing outside of it. If you do not know then I would like to let you’ll know that the biggest prankster is Abhishek Bachchan. He makes the most noise on the set he is extremely mischievous. But he is one hell of a good guy. He doesn’t have a bad bone in his body. But he could make you cry with the pranks he plays and thankfully I was on his good side. So everyday and every shot was a memorable moment.
Can you tell us something about the character you play?
I play a character called Kunal who is an illegal immigrant in Miami. He is a photographer. He loves women till, of course, he has to pretend to be a gay. His love interest is Mr. Abhishek Bachchan. So that’s my character.
