In his upcoming film 'Dishoom', John Abraham essays the role of a cop, who is a chain smoker. Surprisingly, the dedicated actor had to lite more than 600 cigarettes throughout the shooting schedule of the film. One can notice in the trailer John is seen holding a cigarette in almost every frame which is just an introduction to his onscreen character Kabir.

In fact, 'Dishoom' made John Abraham to sacrifice his 'no cigarette' policy and had to lite close to 20 cigarettes every day while shooting! John opines that fitness is his only drug and has thereafter steered clear of Cigarettes. Even though he quit smoking about 10 years back, he hasn`t hesitated picking up the butt due to his character requirement.

However, the actor has a word of caution for his fans.... Speaking of his character, John said, "Character comes first and because it demands so, I am smoking. We do not encourage smoking at all. My character in the movie is that of a chain smoker and a lot of scenes in the film required the smoking bit."

Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under the banner of Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, 'Dishoom' is directed by Rohit Dhawan and is all set to hit the silver screen on 29th July, 2016.
