The actor soon reacted to the praise and thanked Kapur for his motivating words. "Thank you so much Sir @shekharkapur. Truly humbled by your words and encouragement," he wrote. "Coming from someone who not only redefined storytelling but also had the instinct to spot Daniel Craig before the world saw Bond in him… this means a lot to me."
John ended his response with a witty nod to the franchise’s famous dialogue. "As for Bond… I’ll happily start practising my martini order immediately. Shaken, not stirred."

Within no time, the exchange between the two went viral on social media, and many fans reacted positively to the idea of John playing the British spy. "The thought of seeing John Abraham as Bond is exciting," one X user said. While another wrote, "It would truly be a great to see John Abraham portray the role of James Bond someday.

Meanwhile, the hunt for the next James Bond has continued ever since Daniel Craig bid farewell to the franchise after his final outing as 007. The makers have assured that they are "excited to share more news with 007 fans as soon as the time is right."
