John Abraham might enter the boxing ring for his next?

John Abraham‘s return to the genre of action has been received with a positive response from the audiences after the release of his latest venture ‘Rocky Handsome’. The actor is one of the active faces for the youth when it comes to body building, health and fitness. After going through an intense training session of martial arts skills like Aikido and Hapkido in Thailand for at least a month for ‘Rocky Handsome’, the actor might now surprise us entering the boxing ring with his next project.

Recently, John Abraham was travelling on a flight with Harnil Degra, son of Padma Shri award winner body builder Premchand Degra. Apparently, Harnil has been scripting a biopic based on the life journey of his father in the field of body building. John Abraham’s love for fitness and physique is an open secret, so Harnil talked with the actor about this project there itself. Interestingly, Harnil had thought of John only while writing out the part.

Sources say, “A professional bodybuilder from the small town of Hoshiarpur in Punjab, Premchand won the Mr Universe title in the short height 80 kg category in 1988. He was also awarded the Achievement Medal by the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness in 2003 and the Padma Shri in 1990. The Degras could not think of anyone better than John to step into Premchand’s shoes for this role. It happens to be a pleasant coincidence that the actor met Harnil Degra on the Chandigarh flight where he spoke to him about the film. John has asked for a script he can go through and will then take a final call soon.”

Now it be would be more than interesting to see the ‘Force’ actor moulding himself into the role of a body builder for the very first time on big screens. As more and more biopics are being made with deserving stories of athletes like Milkha Singh, Mary Kom and Mahavir Singh Phogat (in Christmas release ‘Dangal’ this year), we would love to see this handsome hunk John Abraham essaying an important role like Premchand Degra as well.

Till then let’s just wait for more updates on this…
