John Abraham is presently shooting for a movie in Afghanistan, where an Indian driver was killed by the Taliban just a few days ago.
His girlfriend Bipasha Basu is in Goa for the 36th IFFI. She was present at the inauguration ceremony of the film festival on November 24 and will also be there for the premiere of Prakash Jha’s movie Apaharan .
But the safety of John – who is shooting for Yash Raj Films’ Kabul Express in the Afghan capital – has certainly got the Basu girl worried. She calls him everyday to make sure that he is doing all right.
“I have spoken to John. He’s fine,” Bipasha is quoted as saying.
Concern has been raised over the safety of the movie’s crew and the actors (John and Arshad Warsi ) after the kidnapping and the killing of an Indian driver.
However, reports quote John and Arshad as saying from Kabul that they have been provided with very tight security by the Afghan police.
The movie’s director Kabir Khan has previously made documentaries in Afghanistan and knows the place very well.
He says there is no cause for concern as the Afghan govt has provided them with adequate security.
