Vedaa Actor Addresses Recent Controversy Due To His Angry Reaction At Trailer Launch Event
The actor recently found himself in the spotlight for a different reason. At the trailer launch event for Vedaa, Abraham had a tense moment with a journalist who questioned his focus on action films.
The journalist’s comment, “kuch naya kijiye,” implying that Abraham should explore new genres, provoked a strong reaction. Abraham didn’t hold back, calling the journalist an “idiot” for the remark.
Following the event, Abraham addressed his outburst in a follow-up interview. He admitted, “I know that one person was planted there to rile me up, to antagonise me, to make me angry. And I want to say that they won and I lost because I got angry.”
He further explained his aversion to trailer launches, stating, “I don’t like trailer launches because you time travel 20 years back, the same journalists, the same absurd questions.”
During the event, Abraham defended his film passionately. “Main toh aapko sirf directly kehna chahta hoon ki ye film alag hai. Mere hisab se to it is a very intense performance jo maine kara hai. Of course, aapne film dekhi nahi hai.
(No, I just want to tell you that this is a different kind of movie. In my opinion, it was a very intense performance. Of course, you haven’t seen the film). But if you are wrong, I am going to turn you around and tear you apart (laughs)!”
Abraham also shared insights into his private nature and work ethic. “That’s my motto, that I need to work, do good work. I don’t need to go to parties, network, I don’t read comments in life,” he said, reflecting his preference for focusing on his craft rather than public scrutiny.
Vedaa will face competition at the box office with Akshay Kumar’s Khel Khel Mein, making the film’s release a notable event in the coming weeks.
