John Abraham excited for Pagalpanti

After hitting the jackpot with his latest film Batla House (2019), which has been doing solid business ever since entering theatres on 15th August, John Abraham is now looking forward to his next Pagalpanti.

Directed by well-known filmmaker Anees Bazmee, Pagalpanti is a multi-starrer comic-caper. Besides John, the much-awaited film also stars an ensemble of talented actors including Anil Kapoor, Ileana D'Cruz, Arshad Warsi, Pulkit Samrat, Kriti Kharbanda, Urvashi Rautela and Saurabh Shukla in important roles.


Talking about the film and how it is going to be different from other comedies that he has done, John Abraham said to a newswire, “The last time I was doing comedy was in Welcome Back (2015). In Pagalpanti, you will see my body language and everything else and you will realise it's not the same John. There will be a visible change.”

The actor added that Anees Bazmee, who last directed him in Welcome Back, was of the view that he has indeed grown in the genre. "I have tried to improve in the genre by leaps and bounds. That's what my director told me. I believe it's very important to improve. Cinema is about entertainment and if I can do a convincing job by making people laugh, it’s amazing. I am excited for the film," he concluded.

Pagalpanti, which has been majorly shot in London, is produced by T-Series Films, Panorama Studios and co-produced by Aditya Chowksey and Sanjeev Joshi. The comic-caper is slated to roll into theatres on November 8, 2019.

Talking about Abraham’s other projects, the handsome hunk is about to begin shooting for Sanjay Gupta’s gangster film Mumbai Saga. The movie also stars Emraan Hashmi in an important role. He has also teamed up with debutant filmmaker Lakshya Raj Anand for an action entertainer titled Attack. The actor-producer is also gearing up to produce a couple of films in association with filmmaker Nikkhil Advani.

What Britain’s ban on strangulation porn really means and why campaigners say it could backfire

Highlights:

  • Government to criminalise porn that shows strangulation or suffocation during sex.
  • Part of wider plan to fight violence against women and online harm.
  • Tech firms will be forced to block such content or face heavy Ofcom fines.
  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

You see it everywhere now. In mainstream pornography, a man’s hands around a woman’s neck. It has become so common that for many, especially the young, it just seems like part of sex, a normal step. The UK government has decided it should not be, and soon, it will be a crime.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
