Not apologetic about my body: John Abraham on moving past stereotypes in films
John Abraham recently talked about moving past body stereotypes, the media's focus on his looks, and choosing meaningful films that add to his legacy. He said that in his early days, he promoted his physique with roles in movies like 'Dostana' and 'Force', but now, as a producer, he wants to change that image. He also shared with India Today that while Bollywood used to be male-dominated, things have changed and the gap between men and women in the industry is now much an exclusive interview with India Today's Consulting Editor, Rajdeep Sardesai, actor John Abraham spoke about being labelled for his physique. He said, 'It was a monkey on my back but listen I'm not apologetic about the body. I mean I had it in 'Dostana' 15 years later I had it in 'Pathaan' - just the colour of the shorts were different, one was yellow and one was white. So I will definitely do action films, I'll do the big ones. I'd want to do Force - it's probably the most untapped big action film that's waiting to happen and I'm going to do that.""I will do the big ones but yes, I think the pressure was more from the media that kept reminding me 'hey listen it's about the body, it's about the body, it's about the body' and I'm like no, trust me, I'm going to give you something more. So when I became a producer the first thing I did was try and change that perception because right now, for me, it's about legacy, it's about what I want to leave behind, what I want to do. I'm not going to do four films a year; I'll do one film if that's meaningful and I'll try and make it work. Even if it doesn't, I'm okay,' he added. Watch the complete interview here: John also admitted he was always into fitness, but saw his body as a marketing tool early in his career. 'Always. But you know, I'm a marketing person also. So if it was about the body, I'd market the body. And talking about that, what do you mean by market the body? I mean I positioned myself as someone who has a body to show out there. So if it was the Dostana walking out of the water, if it was the Force, you know, it's fine - I just make the most of it,' he the subject of gender disparity in Hindi cinema, John observed, 'It isn't as much a macho male-dominated industry as it used to be. The lines have been blurred a lot to a large extent.'John Abraham was last seen in the Netflix spy drama 'The Diplomat', directed by Shivam Nair, which revolved around the US Embassy in Iran and followed the story of Uzma, a Delhi woman who travels to Malaysia for work but ends up trapped in Pakistan. His next release, 'Tehran', is set to premiere on Zee5 on August 14, right before Independence Day.- EndsMust Watch
