Sanjay and Salman are original hunks of B’wood: John

September 16, 2012

Sanjay_SalmanActor John Abraham is followed by thousands of fitness enthusiasts across the nation who aspire to get a perfect bod like him, but this suave hunk believes that despite his fans bestowing the handsome hunk title on him, actors Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt are, and always will be, the ultimate icons of fitness and body building in Bollywood.

The actor said, "Actors Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt are the only trendsetters of body building in Bollywood. They are the original hunks. They brought thousands of youngsters to gyms and made them conscious of fitness." While the actor inspires thousands, who inspired him to take up body-building? "I was inspired to work on my body after I saw Sylvester Stallone in Rocky 4. I saw that movie when I was in college and I was like, 'Oh my God what a built'. I believe that got me into body building," said the actor.

Always wanted to produce films


The actor who is quite busy these days juggling the twin roles of an actor and a producer said, "I am enjoying my stints as an actor as well as a producer. I always wanted to produce films. Some actors like to make films and then act in them whereas I prefer getting in young actors to perform. Like Ayushmann and Yami in the movie Vicky Donor. Those two youngsters just overwhelmed everyone with their amazing talent, especially Ayushmann. He is an immensely talented guy. People keep saying that we got the formula right for Vicky Donor, but I would like to say that everything is right if the movie becomes a hit. If things don't work out well, then people say the formula was wrong. I don't take all this very seriously, because perceptions keep changing with time."

On his upcoming projects


John said, "I am working hard with Shoojit Sircar on a film titled Jaffna. It is in its initial stages right now, so I can't talk much about it. Next, I'll be playing the lead in Aditya Bhattacharya'sKaala Ghoda. Films like Race 2 and Shootout At Wadala are going on as well."

Reliving my Dhoom days


The shoot of Race 2 and Shootout At Wadala has got John all excited as through these two movies, he got to relive his Dhoom days. "I am very excited about Shootout At Wadala as it might be a game changer for me. My hopes are pretty high with this one. As far as Race 2 is concerned, the character that I play is a lot similar to the one I played in Dhoom, as he is as stylish as Kabir from Dhoom. I feel like I'm reliving my Dhoom days.


Don't cheat with your meals


After all the talks about his movies, the actor shared some gyaan on how to keep healthy. Emphasising on the need for being loyal towards food, the actor said, "Never cheat with your meal. Go and eat whatever you want to, but avoid too much oil and fat. I am a pescetarian (a vegetarian who eats fish) these days. I was a vegetarian for the last 14 years. I also include a lot of whey protein in my diet. People keep peeping into my platter when I have my meal to follow what I eat. But it's simple; there is no rocket science involved. Good food, good sleep and good exercise will surely lead you towards a healthy life and you will look good even in your old clothes. Follow this and you will see the change."

Mumbai, Jul 6: Mumbai Police on Monday recorded the statement of filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali in connection with actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death.

The director arrived at Bandra Police Station on Monday morning to give his statement.

As per reports, late actor Sushant was approached by Bhansali for his 2013 film "Goliyon Ki Rasleela: Ram-Leela". However, Sushant could not take up the offer reportedly due to his contract with a production house. Later Ranveer Singh was signed for the role. The female lead was played by Deepika Padukone and the film turned out to be a commercial success.

Meanwhile, Mumbai Police has, over the past weeks, recorded statements of Sushant's family, staff, a few of his friends, and Rhea Chakraborty, besides filmmaker Mukesh Chhabra and actress Sanjana Sanghi who worked with the late actor in his upcoming last film "Dil Bechara".

Sushant Singh Rajput was found hanging in his Mumbai residence on June 14. The actor's postmortem report stated his death was a suicide.

Within a few days of the actor's death, a complaint was filed by advocate Sudhir Kumar Ojha in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate in Bihar's Muzaffarpur. The case filed regarding the actor's death was against eight Bollywood personalities including Bhansali, Salman Khan, Karan Johar, Aditya Chopra and Ekta Kapoor.

Mumbai Police is investigating the death of the actor, though many fans on social media have been demanding a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the case.

Mumbai, Mar 25: Filmmakers and actors, including Karan Johar, Taapsee Pannu and Ayushmann Khurrana, have pledged their support to a new initiative aimed at supporting the daily wage-earners who have been severely affected by the lockdown imposed to combat coronavirus.
The country is witnessing a 21-day lockdown, as announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to contain the spread of the virus, which has claimed the lives of over 20,000 people globally.

The initiative, I Stand With Humanity, started by organisations -- the International Association for Human Values, the Art of Living Foundation and the Indian Film and TV Industry, will provide families of daily wage workers with 10 days of essential food supplies.

"I pledge to contribute and support this initiative! This is a situation that needs all our help, love, care and support," Karan posted on Twitter.

Taapsee said everyone must come forward to help the daily wage workers.

"This one for the daily wage workers. Because we need to do our bit for the ones who work with/for us. If not corona, lack of basic food might take them down. Let's help them to get through this," the actor wrote.

Ayushmann described the initiative as "truly noble".

"I vow to support this and contribute. India and Indians are under threat and each one of us have the power to make a difference. Let's support and care for each other as much as we can in this time of crisis. #Istandwithhumanity," he tweeted.

Kiara Advani and Rakul Preet Singh also pledged to contribute towards the initiative.

"Let's contribute! While some of us are safe at home, we can help those struggling right now... donate," Kiara said.

Rakul tweeted, "I support this noble initiative. Happy to contribute for this humanitarian cause. While staying safe at home, I urge every one else also to contribute online."

Actor Varun Sharma said, "I pledge to contribute & support this initiative #iStandWithHumanity"

"In times like these, we need to step up for the ones in need. I'm happy to contribute for this humanitarian cause. And guys whoever can help, you all can also contribute online," actor Sidharth Malhotra tweeted.

Filmmaker Nitesh Tiwari wrote, "There are a lot of daily wage earners who need our help during this tough time. Please help as much as you can. Here's the link to contribute online."

Actor Bhumi Pednekar said it was important to get together and help those who are "vulnerable and in need".

Actor Dia Mirza said, "We are in this together. YES we will help #DailyWageEarners get through this with hope and dignity. I am contributing to this effort and I hope many others in our fraternity will do as well."

Filmmakers Aanand L Rai and Sanjay Gupta have also backed the cause.

"One of the greatest gift a person can give another, is support. I whole heartily support this noble initiative. While staying safe at home, I urge every one else also to contribute online," Aanand tweeted.

Gupta called upon the public to help the daily wage-earners through the initiative.

On March 18, the Producers Guild of India had announced that they have set up a relief fund for daily wage-earners impacted by the shutdown of film, television and web productions amid coronavirus pandemic.

Their decision came after many filmmakers, including Sudhir Mishra, Vikramaditya Motwane and Anurag Kashyap, raised concerns over the impact of shutdown on the daily wage workers.

South star Pawan Kalyan announced on Twitter that he will donate Rs 1 crore to PM relief fund.

B N Tiwari, President of Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), however, claimed there has been no help from Bollywood personalities or the Producers Guild of India so far.

"In the South, Rajinikanth has donated Rs 50 lakh which is a great thing. But here, we haven't received any call or help from anyone from Bollywood yet."

"There is one production company called Frames that produces TV shows, they have given ration worth Rs 25 lakh but it is stuck at Navi Mumbai and we haven't been able to give that to workers as they can't come here. We are toying with the idea of taking help of police authorities to give the ration to the workers," Tiwari told news agency.
