John Abraham is clear about his priorities. In an era where everyone’s flocking to OTT platforms, he’s deliberately steering clear of them. The reason? He believes he’s made for the big screen.
In a recent conversation, John shared his thoughts on the OTT boom and why he’s not joining the bandwagon just yet. He said, “I think I’m made for the big screen. To dive into digital platforms, you need a massive setup and a dedicated team. Even then, creators often don’t retain the rights or ownership of their projects.”
For John, it’s about the love of storytelling, not just a business investment. As a producer, he hasn’t created any OTT projects, and for now, he has no plans to make a series or original film for these platforms. His focus is on the big screen, where he feels he truly belongs.
John’s latest project is with director Rohit Shetty, though the title of the film hasn’t been revealed yet. Speculations suggest it might be based on the life of Rakesh Maria, Mumbai’s former police commissioner. After his last appearance in ‘The Diplomat’, John is eagerly anticipating his next release.
In his own words, John emphasized, “I want to tell a good story, not just invest in a business. That’s why I haven’t produced any OTT projects. My attention is on the big screen; that’s where I feel I genuinely belong.” With a career spanning numerous blockbusters, John Abraham is certainly a name associated with the grandeur of cinema, and his commitment to this medium is unwavering.
