Action Is Like Item Song To Me - John Abraham

Bollywood actor, John Abraham is one of the actors who has done more action films, and this joner has become a cakewalk for him. He is now all set to return to the new action avatar with the upcoming gangster drama film, Mumbai Saga that will be hitting theaters on March 19. The actor said that performing action scenes is like doing an item song for him.

Abraham's movies have always attracted mass audiences because of the high octane action. And he said that he likes working in mass-oriented films because the mass audience has shaped his career and established him as a macho man of the Bollywood industry.



"For some actors, they love dancing. For me, the action is my dance. It's like an item song to me", said John.

"I think you must do films that relate to the mass audience and not just a few people who are sitting in a fancy theatre. I saw what Manya Surve (his character in Shootout At Wadala) did for me and Sanjay (Gupta). So, these kinds of films are relatable with a large section of the audience", he said while talking to the media at the trailer launch of Mumbai Saga on his slant at doing mass-oriented films.

When asked about how he manages to bring a different kind of action in every film, the actor said, "It's tough because I feel like my bones are breaking but I try to do different action in different films. This film has raw action. In this film, my character has a conflict with Emraan's character. It's a gangster film and we are showing what has happened in reality".



The trailer of Mumbai Saga was released on Friday (February 26) and it shows how violence ruled Bombay in the 80s and 90s. John portrays a gangster who aspires to rule Bombay while Emraan Hashmi is cast as a cop who wants to kill John and win prize money of Rs 10 crore. The Sanjay Gupta directorial has an ensemble cast including Suniel Shetty, Jackie Shroff, Kajal Aggarwal, Prateik Babbar, Rohit Roy, Anjana Sukhani, and Gulshan Grover.

John Abraham will also be starring in an action thriller film, Attack, directed and co-written by Lakshya Raj Anand. Co-starring Jacqueline Fernandez, and Rakul Preet Singh, John will be seen doing action once again in this film but he said it will be completely different and futuristic action. Attack is scheduled to release on August 13, 2021.

Apart from Mumbai Saga and Attack, John Abraham's Satyameva Jayate 2, which is a sequel to his 2018's hit movie, is also scheduled to release on May 14 this year. Directed by Milap Zaveri, the movie also stars Divya Khosla Kumar as the female lead.
