Believe it or not Bollywood actor John Abraham has revealed that he is already married. Well before you let your imagination go too far away let us clear the air and say Bipasha Basu has no reasons to feel cheated. The hunk who revolutionised biking in India with his movie Dhoom said that he had no desires to settle down soon in life as he was already married to his bikes. He added that he would marry Bipasha only after adding four more bikes to his collection.

The New York star was in New Delhi to launch some new bike models from Yamaha Motors. John has been a brand ambassador for the auto giant in India for a years now. John said that he regularly went on honeymoons with his bikes and revealed he doesn't let anyone touch his bike. He candidly added that even girlfriend Bipasha Basu doesn't like sitting behind him as he keeps on complaining about the bike getting scratched.

Thanks to the recession, John Abraham’s film, which was to be directed by Sabal Shekhawat and produced by Indian Films (Studio 18), has come to a halt. Studio 18 has backed out of the film, giving recession as the reason for doing so.

While the film hasn’t been shelved because both John and Sabal are very keen on doing it, though they are not sure when the movie will start filming. Studio 18 felt that the budget of the film was too high for recessionary times and that they should bring it down.

But Sabal wasn’t ready to do so. John too, is supporting Sabal (Sabal is the director who gave John his first modelling break). They have even decided on Turkey as their location for the shoot and a new producer is keen on doing the film .

Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu might not have dreamed in her wildest dreams that her much-awaited Durga Puja celebration would turn into a nightmare. It's reported that she was sexually abused by a sick-minded stranger at this year's Durga Puja celebration.

Sources said that Bipasha attended The North Bombay Sarvojonin Durga Puja at Santacruz with her boyfriend John Abraham. But sadly, a stranger spoiled her evening by groping her breasts. She was near the stage when the incident took place. The pervert ran away, taking advantage of the crowd.

The ugly incident left Bipasha furious and even wanted to lodge a police complaint. However, John whisked her away from the venue.

Not even one film old, Jacqueline Fernandez seems to have impressed John Abraham. The actor has signed the actress in his next directed by close friend Sabal Shekhawat.

The project might have been shelved with Studio18 but John is quite keen to work on the project. A source reveals, ''John has seen some rushes and promos of Jacqueline's debut film Aladin and really liked her. They both work out in the same gym and also have known each other for quite sometime. During the recce of this movie, John had spoken to the director and friend Sabal about Jacqueline. Now that the Studio 18 has backed out from the project, John is considering producing the movie along with Sabal and have finalized on the model turned actress.''

The source continues, ''The movie is a drama thriller and required a glamorous chick. Jacqueline will also be seen in a sporty avatar for the film and will be having a different look in the film. The movie will be going on floors early next year after John is finished shooting with his other projects. The director yet has to finalize the location, Turkey being one of them.''

Director Sabal confirms, ''We have signed Jacqueline for the movie. It is a story about 5 ex-commandos and what happens to them. Naseeruddin Shah and Ranvir Shorey also play important roles in the film.''

Speaking about the producers of the film, he says, ''John was planning to produce the film along with my production house but nothing has been finalized. We are in talks with other production houses.''

A source close to the actress confirms, ''Jacqueline has signed the movie and is excited to work with John.''

When asked of in which episode we can see John, our source quips, “It is yet to be decided but definitely very soon.”

So viewers are you ready to watch your macho man in a handcart competition? The show goes on air from 24 October at 7:00 pm.

John never had to work as hard as he did to get it right for Abbas Tyrewala's 1: 800 Love. A large part of the drama in both films unfolds through telephonic conversations. And every actor knows emoting on the phone is one of the most difficult forms of acting.

Says the 1: 800 Love director Abbas Tyrewala, “It’s a challenge for the most seasoned of actors. A lot of the relationship between John and Pakhi (John’s co-star and also the director’s wife) unfolds on the telephone. It was tough. But Pakhi insisted on being on the sets in London to give cues even when John alone was doing all the telephonic talk. That made it far easier. She was providing him the cues while he delivered his lines on the phone.”

Abbas isn’t sure yet how he’s going to edit all the telephonic conversation in his film. But split screens showing the man and the woman talking to each other from separate places are out. “That’s the easy way out. I’ll have to find a way to show continuity in John and Pakhi’s conversations without resorting to gimmicks. But I’ve to hand it to John. He surrendered completely to the part and he has come out with a performance that's completely unexpected. Dare I say 1: 8 00 Love is a new beginning for John."

Abbas tries to assess his wife’s performance dispassionately. “She was always an actress. But she’s also my wife. So I was very nervous. Luckily Pakhi has turned out to be everything that we expected her to be.”

A lot has been made out of the fact that Pakhi has acted in a comedy Yeh Kya Ho Raha Hai earlier. But Abbas is nonchalant about it. "We never hid the fact that she acted as Punarnava Mehta in Yeh Ka Ho Raha Hai. Then she went to Darjeeling to be school teacher. I got her back and I persuaded her to return to acting. She was born to be an actress."

Many times while shooting 1: 800 Love Abbas was stricken by deja vu. "It was like going back to Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Na. The hero is introduced to the audience on the phone in both. Then when I shot a scene in a pub with John it turned out exactly like a pub scene between Genelia and Ayaaz Khan in Jaane Tu… Just goes to prove. Directors apparently keep making variations on the same idea all their career."

The London schedule went off without a hitch. “One of the actors Rohn was initially denied a visa. I insisted we can’t work without him. Thank God."
