Body not my central point, says John Abraham

Bollywood actor John Abraham believes that the filmmakers have started looking beyond his chiselled body, and the physique will never be his central point in the movies.

John has a wonderful stature, and from showing off his physique in Dostana to flexing his muscles in the recently-released ‘Force’, the body has always been a highlight of John’s movie career.

The actor admitted that it is extremely important to have a good body in the film industry, but he does not want to bank on just his muscles for the success.

“Films are a visual medium… From Shah Rukh to Aamir… everybody maintains a great body as they realise that it is a visual medium, and that their body should be good. But that was never my concentration. Body will never be my central point. But I
know how my audience talks to me..they say what a great body he has got… why should I loose that,” John said. 

“People die to have this kind of physique and I worked so hard for it. So why not play around with it, why not do things, as it will only add to my characterisation,” added the 38-year-old artist.

He also revealed that the time has changed now, and with a lot of improvement in his timing and acting, the directors have surely begun looking at the other sides of him.

John started off his career with a super duper hit movie, Jism – which was Bipasha Basu’s debut flick as well. Although, he could not produce back-to-back blockbuster movies, John has a good record in giving successful pictures.

His just-released project, ‘Desi Boyz’ was a huge success after his action hit, Force. Despite the fact that John is phenomenal in the comedy and drama, he wants to act in more action movies after ‘Force’ – one of the biggest hits of the season

“I want to do more action films. I want ACP Yashwardhan’s character to live on… But we have never discussed Force 2, not with Nishikant or with Vipul. I would love to do Force 2. I would love to continue with it… it is a great brand,” he shared.
