How often does an S-400 need maintenance?
The photo has resulted in multiple reactions online. Some called it a ‘complete transformation’ while others tried to find out why he had changed his look.
“Ye kya ho gaya john ko (What happened to John?),” one wrote. Another fan seems to like the old look more and demanded, “Grow that beard back!” One commented, “He looks ill”, while another asked, “Is it a real picture?”
“It seems like he’s lost weight and with that weight loss, his face looks gaunt and his wrinkles more visible,” one fan pointed out.
There were some fans who defended the actor. “Face-wise, he is looking how he is supposed to look at his age,” one fan wrote. Another added, “Leave him alone, guys. He is 54. People change at this age. Stop judging. Love you, John Abraham.”
John Abraham’s next project
John Abraham was last seen in Tehran, where he played an intelligence officer called Rajeev Kumar who wants to avenge the 2012 bombings in Delhi. Arun Gopalan directed the film and also featured Manushi Chhillar. Tehran had received mixed reviews from the audience.
In November 2025, the teaser of the new documentary Oslo: A Tale Of Promise, backed by John, was showcased at the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa.
Reports suggest that John is currently working on a biopic about former Indian police officer Rakesh Maria. There are also rumours that John is on board for Force 3. However, the actor has not yet officially confirmed his next project.
