What's the story

Actor John Abraham recently revealed that he has been trying to convince director Anurag Kashyap to make a sequel to their 2007 film No Smoking. Speaking to India Today, he said, "I mean, I always told this to Anurag." "I said people make sequels out of hit films. Let's make a No Smoking part two." "And I have been telling this to him for the past four-five years."

Film's journey

'No Smoking' has developed a cult following over the years

No Smoking, which was initially met with confusion due to its unconventional plot, has now developed a cult following. Abraham also praised Kashyap's recent film Bandar, saying it will "disturb you." He added, "I love Anurag and I love No Smoking, and I think more films like that should be made."

Unconventional films

Abraham is committed to making unconventional films

Abraham is committed to making unconventional films, even if they are not understood by everyone. He said, "Yes, I've often been reminded by people around me that don't do this No Smoking. No one understands it." "But I understand it. I love Kafka. I love ultimate reality. So I want to do films like that. I want to do different films."

Fearless actor

'My success has been defined by my failures'

Abraham said he is not afraid of failure in life. He said, "Like I said, at the most, what? You're scared of failure, right?" "People are scared of failure. I'm not scared of failure. My success has been defined by my failures." Meanwhile, his upcoming film Tehran will premiere on Zee5 on August 14.
