The man who resurrected me: 'Satyameva Jayate' director Milap Zaveri drops heartfelt birthday wish for John Abraham
Mumbai, December 17
Filmmaker Milap Zaveri has extended a heartwarming birthday wish for Bollywood hunk John Abraham, expressing gratitude for "resurrecting" him.
Taking to his Instagram handle, Zaveri shared a picture with John and wrote, "Dear @thejohnabraham wish you a very very happy birthday! You are my Hulk and the man who resurrected me with #SatyamevaJayate. I will forever be grateful to you!"
In a playful addition, the director wrote, "You rip tyres with your bare hands but your heart is of gold! Love you my Hero."
Milap Zaveri and John Abraham have famously worked together on the 'Satyameva Jayate' films. While the first instalment came out in 2018, the sequel hit theatres in 2021.
Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar (T-Series), Monisha Advani, Madhu Bhojwani and Nikkhil Advani (Emmay Entertainment), 'Satyameva Jayate 2' also featured Divya Khosla Kumar.
On the work front, John Abraham had back-to-back releases in 2025 with 'The Diplomat' and 'Tehran'.
Directed by Arun Gopalan, 'Tehran' offered a glimpse into the story of an Indian man who was hunted by Iran, abandoned by Israel and deserted by India as he takes on a life-threatening mission.
Apart from John, the movie also stars Manushi Chhillar, Neeru Bajwa and Madhurina Tuli. The film was a fictionalised version inspired by true events and unfolds against the simmering global tension between Israel and Iran.
On the other hand, John Abraham's own production, 'Oslo: A Tale of Promise', recently had a premiere at the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI).
Produced by John Abraham, the film presents a heartwarming tale between a girl and her husky. The documentary had its world premiere under the Indian Panorama Section at the IFFI 2025.

Respect to Milap for acknowledging his hero. Satyameva Jayate was a proper mass entertainer. John's action roles are always convincing. Waiting for his next!
Honestly, while the friendship is nice, I wish John would choose better scripts. 'Tehran' was interesting, but 'Satyameva Jayate 2' was a bit over the top. He has so much potential.
It's lovely to see this. I watched the documentary 'Oslo' at IFFI. It was a beautiful change of pace from his usual roles. Shows his range as a producer.
John Abraham is one of the most disciplined and professional actors we have. His fitness journey itself is an inspiration. Happy birthday, sir! 💪
"You rip tyres with your bare hands but your heart is of gold!" 😂 What a description! Milap Zaveri has a way with words. More power to their collaboration.
