John Abraham, who has been in the industry for more than two decades, recently shared a funny memory from his first film’s muhurat. He was refused entry because he arrived on a bike! The film was Aetbaar, directed by Vikram Bhatt, produced by Ratan Tata, and starring Amitabh Bachchan. In a recent Filmfare interview, John Abraham shared a funny memory from his early career. He said, “When I went for my first muhurat shot, I went on a motorcycle. The film was Aetbaar. Hrithik Roshan and Amitabh Bachchan were clapping the board for me. Hrithik and I were classmates, he is 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’.” John Abraham is well-known for his love for bikes.
