John Abraham turned black and blue while training for ‘Rocky Handsome’!

The handsome hunk John Abraham is set to return to the silver screen with ‘Rocky Handsome’. He will don two hats for the film – of the lead actor and the producer. As we know, the film is a remake of a Korean film. But John and director Nishikant Kamat have made it more palatable to the Indian audience. In an interview with DNA, John said that he expressed his wish to give his own emotional touch and turn it around a bit. “And to give credit where its due, Nishi has added his own touch. Korean films are sometimes very dark and gory. If you watch the film, you’ll feel the weight on your heart. But Nishi has even made the action very palatable to women and children,” he said.

Not only that, John also had to train hard for the high octane action sequences. “‘Rocky Handsome’ has very hand-to-hand combat. I have done a lot of training with knives. I was training in Thailand for over a month and I swear I turned black and blue. I used to realise that I had cuts everywhere only when I had a shower because my back used to burn,” he added.

Now that is some determination, John!
