Panaji (Goa) [India], February 10 – Actor John Abraham arrived in Goa on Sunday to promote the Indian Racing Festival 2025, a motorsports event scheduled to take place across the country from August to November. The festival, developed by Racing Promotions Pvt. Limited (RPPL), is set to feature a franchise-based racing league. Akhilesh Reddy, Chairman of RPPL, confirmed that the festival would make its way to various cities in India, with Goa slated to be a key location for the event.
John Abraham, who owns the motorsports team Goa Races under the banner of JA Racing, shared his excitement for the upcoming street racing event in Goa. “We are here for the Indian Racing League, and we have the Goa team. We are really excited to be in Goa, and we hope the state’s Tourism Minister will support street racing here. We have already received preliminary approval from the Tourism department and hope to make it a reality,” said John.
The actor also explained why he chose Goa as the home for his racing franchise. “I love motorcycles and cars, and Goa holds a special place in my heart. My film ‘Dhoom’ was shot here, and coming back to Goa feels like coming home. It’s the most natural choice for me, and that’s why we’re here,” he added.
In addition to his involvement in motorsports, John Abraham is set to star in the upcoming film Diplomat. The recently released teaser gives a glimpse into the world of high-stakes diplomacy, where intellect and strategy take precedence over physical action. The film features John in a role quite different from his typical action-packed characters, promising an intense drama alongside co-stars Sadia Khateeb, Revathy, and Kumud Mishra. Based on a true story, The Diplomat will hit theatres on March 7, 2025.
