After the success of his film, Force, John Abraham has earned the tag 'Action Abraham'. In this candid chat with Madhureeta Mukherjee, he shows us a different side. Excerpts:
So, it's 'Action Abraham' talking now?
Yeah, absolutely. I do one film per year as I like concentrating on one thing at a time. I'm very secure in my work space and my films are mostly categorised as experimental.
Do you think being good-looking is a deterrent?
I don't think it takes away from your work, but that shouldn't be the only thing you portray to your viewers. I don't fixate on my looks, I don't feel sexy. I only look into the mirror once a day
Will we ever see you playing a superhero?
I would love to, but unfortunately in Bollywood, only big stars justify a big budget. In Hollywood, a Hugh Jackman can play a Wolverine, but here, RA.One is made on that extravagant level just because it's a Shah Rukh Khan film.
Your break-up with Bipasha was in the headlines...
I'm a secure person and I disconnect with all these reports. It's all about how you accept the fact and deal with it. I'm very middle-class in my thinking.
What is the one quality in women that attracts you the most?
Simplicity is the most attractive thing about a woman.
