John Abraham who will be seen in "Baabul" and again in a dramatically different venture "Kabul Express" could well be the face of a changing Indian cinema in year 2007.

While "Baabul" is a big-budget family drama with a twist, in "Kabul Express" he teams up with Arshad Warsi to portray life of journalists in war-torn Afghanistan. The film has the rare distinction of being shot in Kabul from start to finish.

John has already charmed discerning international audiences with his restraint performance in "Water", which is Canada's official entry for Oscar in the Foreign Language film category.

"Water" has also become the highest-grossing Hindi language film in North America for 2006. The actor's immense popularity both in the domestic and international circuit is likely to get another flip with "Baabul".
