Did John Abraham suggested Varun Dhawan for film 'Dishoom'?

John Abraham and Varun Dhawan will be seen playing cops in Rohit Dhawan's forthcoming directorial Dishoom and though Rohit and Varun are brothers, it seems that John was the first to come on board.

In a latest interview, John told that when Rohit was discussing the outline of the story with him, he made it clear that he wanted John to play one of the cops and when Rohit asked as to which other actor should be roped in to play his partner, John told with a laugh that the other cop is in Rohit's house. On hearing this, Rohit came up with the idea of signing up Varun for the movie. John hinted that he suggested Varun's name as they share a great off-screen chemistry.

Apart from Varun and John, Dishoom also stars Jacqueline Fernandez and Akshaye Khanna.

Character comes first and because it demands so, I am smoking, says Non-smoker John!

John Abraham, who is known to be a non-smoker, will be seen playing the role of a chain-smoking cop in Rohit Dhawan's Dishoom and we overhear that for his role in the movie, John Abraham ended up lighting over 600 cigarettes during the shooting schedule!

Though John is a non-smoker and very particular about his health, the hunk willingly agreed to smoke for his role in the movie. Authorizing the same, John told, “Character comes first and because it demands so, I am smoking. We do not encourage smoking at all. My character in the movie is that of a chain smoker and a lot of scenes in the film required the smoking bit."

John will be seen sharing screen space with Varun Dhawan and Jacqueline Fernandez in Dishoom, which also stars Akshaye Khanna.

Jacqueline Fernandez's song lands 'Dishoom' in trouble even before the release!

After Udta Punjab courted controversy with its apparently negative portrayal of Punjab and the people living in the state, it's time for forthcoming movie Dishoom to get a taste of the same, it seems.

The Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) has written to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for imposing a ban on 'Ishaq Ka Marz' song in forthcoming Hindi movie 'Dishoom' on the grounds that the song depicts a skimpily-clad Jacqueline Fernandez dancing with a 'kirpan' - one of the five articles of faith of Sikhs - dangling in front of her legs and supported by a belt worn around the waist by her. The Committee has claimed that the song insults the religious sentiments of Sikhs and as such, should be deleted from the film.

The Sikh body has also sought an apology from the director of movie for hurting Sikh sentiments, failing which, they plan to initiate criminal proceedings against the producer, director and actress of the movie and CBFC.

A gay character for Akshay Kumar in 'Dishoom'?

Director Rohit Dhawan, who marked his directorial debut with Akshay Kumar-John Abraham starrer Desi Boyz, is now gearing up for the release of his next Dishoom and while John Abraham is essaying the protagonist in his second directorial endeavor as well, we hear that Akshay Kumar will also have a distinctive appearance in Dhawan's next.

Seemingly, Rohit will be using a portion of his debut film's title track in his next and that Akshay will mark his entry in that sequence in Dishoom.

For me, it was just one line of the film which was so fresh. 36 hours before India Pakistan final match, a major Indian cricketer gets kidnapped. Just that one liner is so interesting and fresh.
