John knows his limitations perfectly well . “I’m not aiming to be an art house actor. I know my limitations. And I’ve been working my way around them. To me, doing a No Smoking is as valid as doing a Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal,” said John.

He has feet firmly planted in the present and is looking at the future in a pragmatic manner. He says, “My next two films again take my career on an unpredictable course. Karan Johar’s film with Abhishek Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra and me is a light romantic film. Sriram Raghavan’s film with Aishwarya Rai is also a romantic film, though more intense. I’ve made my own place. But, I still need to do a lot more.”
