John Eyeing His Goal

  • IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,July 29 2006]

John Abraham may be having trouble coming to terms with Salman’s moody ways and Bipasha’s wariness, but his stars continue to shine brightly. He replaced Saif Ali Khan in UTV’s sports action film ‘Goal’. The film is being helmed by ‘Chocolate’ director Vivek Agnihotri. John is a football freak who plays the game with a lot of passion.

He went to Germany World Cup to watch a game so that he could get more clued in on the actual feel of a big game. The film is going to be shot in Germany making it even more exciting for the ‘Dhoom’ star.

The film will be using the services of Andy Ansah, the famous football choreographer for the film. Vivek Agnihotri says, “It is great to have John on board, who himself is an avid football fan and a serious player.” UTV on their part must be hoping to make up the lost ground after their last outing ‘Chup Chup Ke’ didn’t turn out to be blockbuster like ‘Rang De Basanti’. ‘Chup Chup Ke’ was not a bad film, but releasing it along with ‘Phir Hera Pheri’ was a blunder. For, if the film would have been released on some other date, it would have definitely fared better.

It seems they’ve learnt from the mistake and redesigning their goals. Better luck next time folks!
