‘I was not comfortable with comedy’

He has hit films like Houseful 2 and Garam Masala to his credit but Bollywood actor John Abraham says initially he was sceptical of being a part of comedies. The actor will be next seen in Anees Bazmee’s romantic-comedy Welcome Back. The movie also stars Nana Patekar, Anil Kapoor and Shruti Haasan among others. 

John said he has a lot of people to thank for helping him become better in comic scenes. 

“Initially, I wasn’t comfortable with comedies at all. During Garam Masala, my first scene was with Rajpal Yadav and Paresh Rawal. I was shaken up. “I was very new then. I thought I wouldn’t be able to do it. I give credit to Priyadarshan sir, Neeraj Vohra and Akshay for helping me reach here,” the actor said.
