John Abraham was extremely delighted when critics raved about his extra ordinary performance as a villain in films like Dhoom and New York that went on to become a super-duper hit. It definitely boosted the confidence of the model-turned actor.

 

Now, as his career graph is rising, producer Ramesh Taurani of Race 2 has signed John to play the villain. John has been finalized to share screen space with Saif Ali Khan and Anil Kapoor.

 

According to director Abbas-Mustan, this ensemble cast, is ‘perfectly balanced’ now.
