New Delhi: He has hit films like "Houseful 2" and "Garam Masala" to his credit but actor John Abraham says initially he was sceptical of being a part of comedies.

The 42-year-old actor will be next seen in Anees Bazmee's romantic-comedy "Welcome Back", a sequel to the 2007 hit "Welcome". The movie also stars Nana Patekar, Anil Kapoor and Shruti Haasan among others. John said he has a lot of people to thank for helping him become better in comic scenes.
