For most actors, crossing over to production has been a relatively rough ride. But for John Abraham, the shift was smoother. And now, the actor is ready to flex some business muscle. Having received a positive overseas response to his maiden production Vicky Donor, John has now decided to open an office in London. And thus, when an opportunity presented itself, he dropped everything and hurried off to the city to finalise a commercial space in Central London, where realty prices have gone up by 10 per cent this year and have been on an upswing since July.
According to a source close to the actor, John had been eyeing not one but a few properties to set up the overseas wing of his production house. "He had an option of leasing the property. But since he is very serious about his business, he decided to invest in the property instead. However, buying office space in London is just the beginning of his bigger plans," added the source.
Perhaps it is John's marketing degree that adds to his business acumen. "He began with doing a thorough research of the London property market. He has been a management student and plans every move systematically. He chose London since as an actor he often travels there. John realised that he would be able to keep a tab on the business this way," the source told TOI.
In fact, as we speak, John is busy finalising the deal. He has also identified people in his team to spearhead the operations there, and a formal annoucnement is expected sometime soon. "John wants to start operations from London in a month," added the source. When we tried to get in touch, John remained unavailable.
