‘Action is my favourite genre’
He has been a part of films of various genres, but action remains actor-producer John Abraham's all-time favourite.
Abraham, who has been saying that the stunts in his next film Rocky Handsome are of an altogether new level in Bollywood, said in a statement, “Be it little kids, boys or grown up men, we have all been fascinated by action throughout our lives. I've mainlined on movies of superheroes, action men and never-back-down toughies locked in intense, fierce combat, gripping the weapons of their choice.”
“That style and panache, their grit and guts have been the things that have kept us engaged and enticed,” he said.
“Action is definitely my favourite genre in movies, and I have myself pulled off a few stunts in some of my films, including Rocky Handsome,” he added.
