John Abraham has his plate full — with Mumbai Saga behind him, he is shooting for Mohit Suri’s Ek Villain 2 while looking forward to the Eid release of Satyameva Jayate 2. Though the Milap Zaveri- directed the first instalment was a commercial success, it had opened to poor reviews. Asked if they kept the first outing’s feedback in mind to design a better sequel, the actor says, “I thought Satyameva Jayate was a smart film. I don’t give a sh*t about critics who didn’t like it. I am not being condescending towards reviews, but lately, they have become a joke. There are people on YouTube who have a lot to say about a film. Satyameva Jayate had elements of Deewar [1975] in it, and that’s what drew me to the franchise. My reason was clear — I believed in the film, but above anything else, I like Milap. People who criticise me aren’t feeding me.”
Abraham believes that Zaveri has a finger on the audience’s pulse, making him the perfect fit to helm the upcoming vigilante actioner. “Once, Milap asked me, ‘What will you do if Satyameva Jayate 2 fails?’ I told him I will work with him again. The worst-case scenario will be that our budget for the third film will be Rs 5 crore. Milap has tremendous conviction when it comes to mass cinema. I have signed up to do that cinema, and if people don’t like it, it’s fine. But those who do, will devour it.”
