"I've just been running around and around. It seems I've been working round-the-clock," groans John. He has been pretty much on the edge, shooting features and ads, attending events and going to shows.

But the giddy limit was yesterday, Sunday when John shot back-to-back for two major films.

"It was Ravi Chopra's Babul all day, and then Nikhil Advani's Salaam-e-Ishq in the night," the Dhoom dude doesn't know whether he's coming or going. "It couldn't be helped. Babul is delayed. So it has to be squeezed into my schedule."

With Mr Bachchan back on the scene to complete his critical pending work on Babul, the rest of the cast is quickly doing some quick re-shuffling in their date diary.

Says John, "Everyone wants to co-operate and get the film completed on time. The director Ravi Chopra is such a lovely man. And we're all so happy and relieved to resume shooting with Mr Bachchan."

Incidentally John rubbishes rumours about teaming up with Jennifer Lopez that appeared in a section of the media. "Where do these media persons get such information from? I don't know her. I've never met her."
