John Abraham was earlier a bit poor over Hindi and many of his earlier films were dubbed by professional artists. But all that has changed now with the Bollywood heartthrob working hard to get rid of his so-called anglicised accent.

John said 'I admit it was one of the areas that I needed to work doubly hard on. I've been consistently working on it. But 'Baabul' truly made me confident of the way I speak my dialogues. First of all, the words were all in pure Hindi. Achala Nagar's dialogues were a bit complex for all of us, except of course Mr. Bachchan.

'I had two options open in front of me. Either I asked the words to be simplified. Or I worked on the language. I opted for the latter. And believe me, if the impact of a role can be gauged by the spoken word, then 'Baabul' is the most influential film of my life. It has changed my thought process. Now I'm actually able to think in Hindi.'

Way to go John, nice attempt to leanr Hindi. Jai hind !
