What are the reasons for the downfall of John Abraham?
I am not sure why one would think John Abraham has had a downfall. On the contrary, his last four movies have been quite successful. Both Satyameva Jayate and Parmanu were hits, as was Dishoom. Even Force 2 did average business at the box office. [1].
I think at this point John Abraham has firmly established himself as a semi-top tier lead actor. He’s the guy you call when you want to make an action movie - as simple as that. He has the looks, the poise, and while he’s not the greatest actor of all, he does have a decent screen presence.
I watched his recent promo of Romeo Akbar Walter, and man, I am blown away. That looks like it’ll be an awesome movie - I am imagining it’ll have shades of Madras Cafe, another good movie of John’s from the past few years.
So, anyhow, I do not think John Abraham has had any sort of downfall. I think he’s doing well and has established himself fairly well in the industry. He also has a good reputation of being the only actor who is open to working with directors whose last movies were big bombs [5]. I think that’s a very commendable attitude of his.
