John received death threats
Wednesday, August 02, 2006

John AbrahamJohn Abraham received death threats while shooting for Kabul Express, says director Kabir Khan. "Yes, the death threats to John were real, not baseless rumours. We got to know about these threats through the Intelligence. But the government was co-operative and gave us plenty of security. We had about 60 armed guards on our sets. This helped us finish the entire film on time. I also had my network of friends who were always with me," Kabir Khan informed us.

He told us that despite such threats John and the rest of he cast was very co-operative. Kabir Khan wanted to shoot the film in only in Afghanistan. "Afghanistan is unique and cannot be replicated elsewhere. It is a country, which has been ravaged by war for 25 years. But, I wanted my entire cast and crew to be as excited as I was, about it. Thankfully, all were equally excited and we had a great time making the film," said Kabir.
