John was last seen in Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone's Pathaan. The movie was a blockbuster hit. However, the actor's other films such as Attack: Part 1, Mumbai Saga, and Ek Villain Returns failed to rake in numbers at the box office. John Abraham's Vedaa was one of the major releases of this Independence Day. Facing tough competition from co-releases, Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor's horror-comedy Stree 2 and Akshay Kumar’s Khel Khel Mein, Abraham's action thriller took the third spot in the box office collection. Directed by Nikkhil Advani, the action-drama stars Sharvari Wagh, Abhishek Banerjee and Tamannaah Bhatia in the lead roles.

I have got everything organically | Interview “It’s a brave film to do. I wanted to work with Nikkhil again after Batla House . Honestly, more than success and failure, it’s the message that you’re sharing via your film that’s more important. We’ve told it in an entertaining way, but there’s no getting around the fact that the subject is heavy. And if people aren’t interested in watching films with heavy subjects, that’s their choice. I respect it. But you have to face the subject at the end of the day,” he said. Accepting feeling bad when the movie doesn't work well commercially, the actor said he's still proud of the movie. ''This is possibly Nikkhil and my best work together. Often, there’s regret when your film doesn’t work commercially. You feel bad. Usually, it stems from uncertainty about the film itself. But with Vedaa, we’ve got practically everything right. Our cast has performed brilliantly, every department, from cinematography to action, has done well. People will find things to complain about with the screenplay, and that’s fine. We respect everybody’s point of view. But I’m proud we’ve made a good film,” he said.

Wion's Pragati Awasthi called Vedaa, 'a typical Bollywood film.'' ''Written by Aseem Arora, the story is something that you are very well aware of - a girl fighting against all odds to bring justice to her family with the help of a man who can fight against the sea of people and survive even after being shot multiple times. However, what makes this typical Bollywood saga interesting is its focus on caste discrimination, shedding light on the heinous killings of young inter-caste couples and echoing the sentiments of this section of society in modern India,'' the review reads. With over three years of experience, Pragati Awasthi specialises in everything related to the showbiz world. None
