John Abraham has been part of three sequels (Race 2, Housefull 2 and Shootout At Wadala) although he wasn’t part of the original films. Strangely the actor hasn’t acted in the sequels of any of his films like Dhoom 2 and Jism 2.
Now the buzz is that he will be part of Force 2. In fact, he plans to carry forward the Action Abraham image and ensure that the story of ACP Yashvardhan (name of John’s character in the film) is taken forward.
However, insiders claim that the future of the film is dicey because the studio (Fox) won’t get involved with the film unless director Vipul Shah clears monies owed to them.
Apparently there is a financial issue that’s not been honoured by the filmmaker. However, Fox is as excited about the sequel as John. Meanwhile Vipul is also toying with the idea of making F2 independently, without involving the studio. But till the problems are sorted between Vipul and Fox, the film can’t go on the floor.
The actor confirms, “Yes, Fox has approached me to do Force 2 as they believe it has the propensity to be the most successful action brand in the country. There are issues that Fox and Vipul need to work out before we can get started on this.”
Vipul, whose Commando starring Vidyut Jamval releases this Friday, says, “I laugh when I hear such things. Everyone knows that in the film trade if a producer owes money to anyone his film won’t be allowed to release. But I am releasing my next film.
There are vested interests spreading these rumours. I choose not to say anything because everyone has their own way of functioning and I may be working with the same people in the future. Force is a brand like the Diehard series which I intend to carry forward. I always wanted to do F2 but then I got busy with Commando and John got busy with his other films. I won’t make Force 2 without John.”
