John Abraham takes off on Indian reality television

The otherwise reticent John Abraham has recently taken off on reality shows on Indian television via a scene in his forthcoming film Vipul Shah’s Force.

Essaying the role of ACP Yashvardhan, John in a confrontation scene, talks about how today’s youth do not have police or army ambitions but are the first to jump the gun when it comes to participating in reality shows. Taking off on the new reality show trend, that has made everyone concerned about show business, but not society. John hopes to strike a chord with the youth in his film.

Says a source, “John is of the opinion that today’s youth need to wake up and do something for society. He has never liked visiting reality shows, but since the production had already committed dates to a talent reality show, John visited it.”

"It’s important for the youth today to start taking interest in socially relevant issues..Its easy to sit across the television screen and be entertained but it really takes courage to go out there and fight crime and put your life on the line for the country," confirms John.
