John Abraham wants a break from serious films?

In a recent interview with a leading daily, John Abraham said that as an actor, he needed a break from serious cinema. He hinted that Batla house had taken an emotional toll on him and also mentioned that he wanted to do a film that would make him as well as  the audience happy. He also spoke about how he had just wrapped up Batla House when he started shooting for Pagalpanti. So he had to shift gears as he believes comedy is the toughest genre of the business. He said that the director and the other cast and crew of the film were very supportive.

According to him, with Pagalpanti, the idea was to make a movie that suited all age groups. When asked about taking up a mindless comedy like Pagalpanti, the actor said, ''I am aware that films like Total Dhamaal and Housefull 4 got a lot of flak and criticism, but the films did well in the box-offiece.''The actor believes that there is space for all kinds of comedies today.''
