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."

Mar 11: The shooting of Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai has been completed, and the film will now release on schedule.

If one recalls, the film went on the floors in the first week of November 2019 and was supposed to be Salman’s fastest completed film. However, the movie faced a variety of roadblocks — It was first to be wrapped in the first week of February, “But Salman went off to his Panvel farmhouse after the release of Dabangg 3 and spent a while there ushering in his birthday,” a source reveals.

“Then, the extension of the show Bigg Boss 13 by five weeks also turned out to be another speed breaker. Then, Salman wanted to make sure that the film was being made as good as what his audiences wanted on Eid. He made sure that his director Prabhudeva got what he wanted from the performers and didn’t want to rush him.

"Additionally, the Azerbaijan schedule of the film also got cancelled as Salman did not want to take any chances with the cast and crew with the lurking Covid 19, and rescheduled the shoot in India. This is now complete, barring any patchwork that might emerge later,” our source adds.

Radhe is slated to be an Eid release, which will clash with Akshay Kumar’s Laxmmi Bomb.

Jul 6: Tony Award-nominated actor Nick Cordero, who specialized in playing tough guys on Broadway in such shows as Waitress, A Bronx Tale and Bullets Over Broadway, has died in Los Angeles after suffering severe medical complications after contracting the coronavirus. He was 41.

Cordero died Sunday at Cedars-Sinai hospital after more than 90 days in the hospital, according to his wife Amanda Kloots. “God has another angel in heaven now,” she posted on Instagram. “Nick was such a bright light. He was everyone’s friend, loved to listen, help and especially talk. He was an incredible actor and musician. He loved his family and loved being a father and husband.”

Nick Cordero entered the emergency room on March 30 and had a succession of health setbacks, including mini-strokes, blood clots, septis infections, a tracheostomy and a temporary pacemaker implanted. He had been on a ventilator and unconscious and had his right leg amputated. A double lung transplant was being explored.

Kloots, sent him daily videos of her and their 1-year-old son Elvis, so he could see them if he woke up, and urged friends and fans to join a daily sing-a-long. A GoFundMe page to pay for medical expenses has raised over $600,000.

“I tell him, I say, ‘You’re gonna walk out of this hospital, honey. I believe it. I know you can,’” she told “CBS This Morning” over the summer. ”‘We’re gonna dance again. You’re gonna hold your son again.’ My line is, ‘Don’t get lost. Get focused.’”

The lanky Cordero originated the menacing role of husband Earl opposite his estranged wife, played by Jessie Mueller, in Waitress as well as the role of Sonny in Chazz Palminteri’s A Bronx Tale. It was at Bullets Over Broadway where Cordero met his wife. The two married in 2017.

Cast members from “Waitress” — Jessie Mueller, Keala Settle, Kimik Glenn and songwriter Sara Bareilles — helped raise money for Cordero by covering his song “Live Your Life.” Sylvester Stallone sent a video with best wishes.

Kloots had said that it was difficult to tell whether Cordero understood what happened to him, but said he could respond to commands by looking up and down when he was alert.

Her husband played a mob soldier with a flare for the dramatic in Broadway’s Woody Allen 1994 film adaptation of Bullets Over Broadway, for which he received a Tony nomination for best-featured actor in a musical. He moved to Los Angeles to star in Rock of Ages.

On the small screen, Nick Cordero appeared in several episodes of Blue Bloods and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and he had a role in the film Going in Style.

Actor and guitarist for Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Van Zandt offered Cordero his first TV acting gig in the final episode of Lilyhammer. After he was hospitalized, Van Zandt teamed up with Constantine Maroulis and Vincent Pastore to make a video performing “Live Your Life.”

Cordero was last onstage in a Kennedy Center presentation of Littler Shop of Horrors. His off-Broadway credits include The Toxic Avenger and Brooklynite.

The coronavirus has sickened other Broadway veterans, including the actors Danny Burstein, Tony Shalhoub, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Gavin Creel, Aaron Tveit and Laura Bell Bundy as well as composer David Bryan. It has also claimed the life of Tony-winning playwright Terrence McNally.
