Thinking of Pondicherry, one thinks of the beautiful town on the coastline with its mesmerizing beaches and sunny disposition. But there are many other reasons for John Abraham to choose this place as location for the shooting of movie ‘Aashayein’.

John Abraham is fond of some memories associated with this place as his first film ‘Jism’ with Bipasha Basu in female lead was shot here in 2003. John is very much in love with this place. He finds this place to be his touchstone. In fact whenever low in spirits, he visits the place and rejuvenates himself.
He feels that Pondicherry will be the right place for ‘Aashayein’ to shoot as the place shares positive vibes, which would do right justice with the theme of the movie. Smiling John Abraham says, “I love Pondicherry, it was the same place from where I started my film career in 2003 with Jism. This place makes me feel good and comfortable. When we were shooting at Pondicherry for Aashayein, I used to get this déjà vu feeling. I actually revisited all the places that we had shot the film earlier.”
