John Abraham: Audience loved seeing Varun Dhawan and me in underwear

‘Dishoom’ has been ruling the box-office and John Abraham couldn’t be more happier. The actor is on cloud nine with the success of the film and speaking to an entertainment website, John shared his happiness. He said, “I am feeling very good. I saw the film on the edit table and thought it was very strong in terms of entertainment value. So, I am happy that my feelings have been validated.”

Also speaking about the scene in the film where he and Varun Dhawan took their pants off, John says that the viewers loved it. “Rohit said, ‘If I have John and Varun, I want a scene where they both are stripped down to their underwears’. Many people felt that scene is the highlight of the film — with Akshay Kumar coming in. Imagine a macho cop, a no-nonsense cop Sameer Qazi (Akshay’s character) asking Kabir to take his pants off and he is doing it conveniently (smiles). When you look at it in the context of the scene, it was fun and easy. And I think a majority of the audience enjoyed seeing Varun and me like that. We trained really hard for that scene,” John shared.

When asked about the training they went through for the scene, he quipped, “Abs…today, everybody has abs. But I told Varun that’s it’s important he trained his legs, his upper body — shoulders, chest…You need to have a wholesome physique. It has to look beautiful, like a beach body. We trained together and I think the scene looked very pleasing, it didn’t look vulgar. And, Akshay made it really funny.”
