John Abraham (born 17 December 1972)[1][2] is an Indian actor and film producer who works in Hindi films. Known for his stoic action hero persona, he is a recipient of a National Film Award along with nominations for four Filmfare Awards. Abraham has appeared in Forbes India's Celebrity 100 list since 2017.[3]

After a successful modelling career, Abraham made his acting debut with the erotic thriller film Jism (2003), a sleeper hit.[4][5] He rose to prominence with the action film Dhoom (2004) and the comedies Garam Masala (2005), Taxi No. 9211 (2006), and Dostana (2008). He also starred in the critically acclaimed dramas Water (2005), Kabul Express (2006) and New York (2009), the last of which also turned out to be a commercial success. Despite several commercial failures in the subsequent decade, Abraham achieved success with the 2013 action thrillers Race 2 and Shootout at Wadala and drama Madras Cafe, and the ensemble comedies Housefull 2 (2012) and Welcome Back (2015). Abraham then had his biggest commercial successes with the action dramas Dishoom (2016), Parmanu (2018), Satyameva Jayate (2018), Batla House (2019), and Pathaan (2023), the last of which ranks as his highest-grossing release.[6]

Abraham ventured into film production under his banner J.A. Entertainment with Vicky Donor (2012), which won him the National Film Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment. He has since produced several of his films and also wrote the story of Attack: Part 1 (2022). Outside of his film career, he is the co-owner of the Indian Super League football team NorthEast United FC.[7][8] He is also a vegetarian and is an advocate for animal rights.[9]
