John Abraham STOPPED Talking To Milap Zaveri After Satyameva Jayate 2 Failure. Director Says ‘He Was Sad’

There are stars who remain positive and are hardly affected by a flop and then there are those who take Fridays very seriously. John Abraham falls into the latter category. Did you know? The failure of his 2021 action film Satyameva Jayate 2 did not sit well with him. In fact, he completely distanced himself from director Milap Zaveri for a while.

Zaveri shared in an interview with Siddharth Kanan, “Honestly, there was a period of about two to three months when he wasn’t communicating. I reached out through phone calls and messages, and he eventually replied saying, ‘Milan, I’m very sad.’ He didn’t say he was upset with me; he said he was sad because he had a lot riding on this film, he was very excited, and he was upset that it didn’t work out.”

The director continued, “He had gone into a shell for a while, but later we talked. I met John, and we hugged it out. John told me, ‘I will do a film with you. I love you; I believe in you as a director. When a great script comes, I will work with you.’ He told me that. But obviously, something had broken. Somewhere, both our hearts were broken because the film didn’t succeed. More than anything, I felt I let him down. I felt I let John down; he trusted me blindly. He did whatever I told him to do. Hats off to him for that. There were some moments when he wasn’t happy; he felt I was going too over the top, that I was making it too cinematic. But he did everything.”

The duo is yet to collaborate after the failure.
