New Delhi, January 06: Bollywood hunk John Abraham, who is back to playing his gay self in the sequel to ”Dostana” with Abhishek Bachchan, says that the junior B has named him “jiggly poo”. The actors became friends while working together in the gay comedy and continue to share the same equation.
“After we starred together in ”Dostana”, Abhishek has nicknamed me as his ”jiggly poo”. He sends me messages on my birthday saying ”Happy Birthday Jiggly Poo”!,” said John.
John and Abhishek called each other the same even in the film, and the name seems to have stuck on since then. The 2008 film, which had John playing a lothario pretending to be in a homosexual relation with Abhishek, was directed by Tarun Mansukhani and also starred Priyanka Chopra.
The 37-year-old actor will be reprising the same role in the sequel too, which will be filmed from June this year. “The sequel will pick up from where ”Dostana” left off.
So there is me and Abhishek playing the same characters again,” he said. Promising that the sequel will be even more fun-filled, the actor said, “It is hilarious! I almost fell off the chair while reading the script, it is so funny!,” said John, on the sidelines of an event where he launched new bike models from Yamaha at the ongoing Auto Expo in the capital.
John, who made his Bollywood debut with ”Jism” in 2003, has proved himself as an actor with films like ”Water” and ”New York”. But he has cut down on the number of releases to one or two per year.
