A warm welcome goes out to John Abraham; who arrived in Toronto yesterday at the Pearson International Airport. The scene of his female fans screaming with happiness to see him up front and male fans pushing their way through others to get a hand shake was quite amusing.
John embraced his Toronto fans with open arms, from autographs to hugs all around. John is here to launch the Deepa Mehta film Water at the Toronto Film festival, starring himself and Lisa Ray in lead roles.
John Abraham is one of the most successful male models in India. His dad is a Christian from Aluva, Kerala and his mother is from Iran. Being a Catholic his father added the name 'Abraham' to his son John as a mark of respect to the first patriarch and progenitor of the Hebrew people in the Bible. That name gave him a noted stand when he entered the modeling field.
His revolutionary looks, macho body, baby smiles and nice character made him the highest paid supermodel in India. Being a hot star in the modeling world, he made his film debut in 2003. Not like usual Bollywood heroes who debut in male oriented action subjects, he accepted the erotic emotional Jism (2003). His first blockbuster smash hit came in the year 2004 when he took the antihero role 'Kabir' in Dhoom (2004). John is starring in Deepa Mehta's upcoming movie Water.
John is playing, Narayan, who has just finished his law degree, is an idealist and follower of Gandhi's ‘Quit India Movement.’ Through pure chance Narayan meets Kalyani. There is an immediate attraction, but the restriction placed on interaction with widows makes it difficult to find a way of pursuing any kind of relationship. Gandhi’s movement is not solely dedicated to removing the British from Indian soil but also focuses on social justice particularly as it relates to the treatment of women. Narayan ignores the cultural taboos and continues to meet Kalyani in order to marry her. But marriage to widows is strictly forbidden.
To those girls who were unable to make it he looks even better in real life; you missed a exciting opportunity. Thank you to all those who were able to join us. Stay tuned to see more of John this week. Check out Mahiram.com's exclusive coverage of his arrival in Toronto today as he prepares to appear at the Toronto International Film Festival where Water has been chosen as the opening film.
