John Abraham in talks with Akshay Kumar for the sequel of Garam Masala

John Abraham has worked in an array of some amazing films. He has completed 15 years in Bollywood. The actor will be next featured in film Parmanu: The Story Of Pokhran. The promotion of the same will begin soon.

Talking about his film Garam Masala (2005) which also had Akshay Kumar in the lead role, John was asked if the film will have a sequel. To this, John said, "I would love to do some fun films. Also, I love Akshay [Kumar] and enjoy working with him. In fact, I spoke to him the other day, and he said, ‘Let’s do something together’. We always have a burning desire to work together as we are very alike as human beings. As for Garam Masala 2, Akshay and I have been talking about it and I think that’d be great and a lot of fun. The storyline can be that 10 years later, there are more than three air hostesses (laughs). It will be fun but you have to make those fun films with people you have fun with. Even films such as Desi Boyz (2011) and Dishoom (2016) can be made into sequels as they have great potential."


Speaking about his journey in Bollywood, the actor said, "Honestly, it’s all been the blessing of my audience and I have always said that. My godfather is my audience. For someone who has nobody in the industry, people are his godfather. My fans have loved me a lot and held me close; and it’s all thanks to them that I am here. I am grateful to my wellwishers. They are the most fantastic people in my life."

  • Regional stories and folklore films are expanding the genre.
  • 2025 marks the start of long-form mythological world-building on OTT.

There’s a quiet shift happening on streaming platforms this year. Indian mythological stories, once treated as children’s animation or festival reruns, have started landing on global services with serious ambition. These titles are travelling further than they ever have, including into the UK’s busy OTT space.

It’s about scale, quality, and the strange comfort of old stories in a digital world that changes too fast. And in a UK market dealing with subscription fatigue, anything fresh, strong, and rooted in clear storytelling gets noticed.
