"As an actor, my fee doesn’t put a load on the film. I feel if the film makes money, I will make money. I don’t want to load the film. Toh meri jo aukaat hai, jo mera standard hai, I make films according to that. I am very proud of my content."

John further revealed that producers still do not believe him despite producing a famous film, Vicky Donor, and working on films like Madras Cafe, Batla House, and many more. John Abraham revealed that studios do not respond to him as he does not use WhatsApp. He said:
"First, I don’t have Whatsapp so if I send an SMS to people, they don’t respond to me. I don’t get a reply for very long. I had texted a studio head and he told me that he will circle back but it has 4.5 months and he hasn’t responded. I don’t feel bad but I deserve one reply. I believe that if people believe me a little, I would want to try and change Indian cinema a little. I am not saying I am a game changer but I want to try."
For those who don't know, John was seen getting into a heated argument with a journalist. During the premiere launch, John answered media personnel's questions. However, the actor was questioned by a journalist about why he was doing similar roles and focusing more on action. To this, John lost his calm, and he straight away asked the journalist whether he had seen the upcoming film. Further, John asked if he could call out bad questions and idiots. He said:
"Apne yeh film dekhi hai. Okay can I call out bad questions and idiots."
