After refusing to act in Mani Ratnam's Guru due to Abhishek Bachchan in the lead John Abraham was again approached by Shaad Ali for his film Jhoom Barabar Jhoom. In this movie also Abhishek Bachchan is starring and once again John has refused to do the films citing date problems. But the latest buzz is that John has refused to do the film because Abhishek is always given more important roles as was the case in Dhoom, and John isn't interested in playing second fiddle in the movie. He was definitely a hit in Taxi No. 9211.
