John 'Force'ful bike stunt
- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,August 12 2011]
Man, he is simply mind blowing these days! Going by the 'zabardasth' avatar in his forthcoming film 'Force', John Abraham seems to prove that his well-toned body is not only for show and style but it has also great power and energy.
Just look at him lifting up a heavy motorbike (weighing nearly 150 kgs) and flinging over a villain. While one may think that it's all camera and harness trick, let we tell you it was not the case. Birdies in fact shared that the hunk star actually did the stunt himself with out any aid.
Both the director Nishikant Kamat and producer Vipul Shah were said to be strictly against John doing the risky scene. They were worried that he might get injured but John, who was confident, insisted that he will be able to carry off the stunt himself. And he was right; for, after few attempts the actor did the stunt so well that unit people were left awestruck.
In 'Force' John who is playing a no-nonsense cop has done several stunt and heavy duty action sequences. But naturally it was not all rosy and easy while doing such scenes, because birdies revealed John had his own share of injuries.
According to action director Allan Amin, since John is a physical guy the action was all high octane. Although cables are used for most of the action scenes, it is not possible when they have something raw and physical and those scenes John did it himself, Amin added. At the end of our schedule, we realised that John, despite being a tough guy, had quite a few bruises apart from some hairline and actual fractures, he quoted to sources.
