Following a series of hardcore action dramas, John Abraham now plans to cater to family audiences with his upcoming comedy "Pagalpanti".
The actor, who has established himself as one of the most popular action stars of Bollywood with films like "Force", "Rocky Handsome", "Parmanu", Satyameva Jayate" and "Batla House", said he was dying to comedy for quiet sometime.
"There is space for all kinds of film and I want to do all kinds of film. I have been dying to do a comedy. Films like 'Housefull 4', 'Total Dhamaal' has come with negative criticism but look at the numbers it has done?
"It is a film that gave us a chance to spread happiness. It has no double meaning language, no exposure, no bloodshed, even our villain is also cute. We want to make a film that will reach the audience from the age of six to 96."
"After I had got out of 'Batla House' I started shooting for 'Pagalpanti' so the first two days were very difficult. I enjoy doing comedy films and it has worked for me as well. It is the toughest genre to make in the business, it is very difficult to make people laugh."
