Meghalaya, India: Bollywood actor and Northeast United FC (NEUFC) owner John Abraham visited Shillong on Friday, where he explored the iconic Ward's Lake.
During his visit, Abraham interacted with local residents and key tourism stakeholders, highlighting the importance of promoting Meghalaya's natural beauty, cultural heritage and tourism potential.
He also watched a special performance by artists from the Chief Minister's Meghalaya Grassroots Music Programme (CM-MGMP).
Following the performance, Abraham met the artists and praised their talent, describing the experience as unique, refreshing and deeply memorable.
Commending Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma, Abraham said the state government was providing musicians with valuable opportunities to showcase their talent and earn a livelihood.
"This is my first visit here, but believe me, I will soon return during my personal time to fully enjoy this beautiful place," he said.
Meanwhile, on the film front, Abraham will next be seen in Force 3.
The action thriller also stars Harshvardhan Rane and Tanya Maniktala and is directed by Bhav Dhulia. The film aims to build on the gritty legacy of the Force franchise.
Backed by John Abraham's JA Entertainment and Sheel Kumar's Karolina Corporation, Force 3 marks a new chapter in the franchise, with Harshvardhan Rane joining the cast. While Abraham reprises his role as ACP Yashvardhan Singh, details of Rane's character have not been revealed.
Speaking about the film earlier, Abraham said, "Force has always been a franchise I've believed in deeply. What makes it special for me is that it has a certain grit and a strong identity that audiences have connected with over the years. With Force 3, we're taking that legacy forward in a big way. I'm also really excited to introduce Harsh as an action hero. He has the presence, the energy and the hunger for it, and I think audiences are going to enjoy watching him in this space."
The film is written by Simaab Hashmi, with music by Ravi Basrur and lyrics by Irshad Kamil. It is scheduled for a theatrical release on 19 March 2027.
