John Abraham is impressed

Actor praises Sonakshi’s compelling stunts in ‘Force 2’

MUMBAI: Bollywood heartthrob John Abraham is full of praises for his Force 2 co-star Sonakshi Sinha, saying he is proud of her for performing challenging stunts in the film. “Sonakshi is very sweet,” said John at the screening of his film Rocky Handsome.  “She’s a fantastic co-star; one of my best co-stars and the work that she has done in Force 2! I really like action – especially the action that she has done. This girl absolutely has got no fear!”

John went on to relay an incident from the sets of the upcoming film to lend credence to his statement. “We had to make a jump and I asked Sonakshi if she was sure. She replied, ‘I am sure I will jump’,” the actor shared. “So she jumped from second floor and third floors. I am very proud of her. Watch Force 2!” He also praised director Abhinay Deo of Delhi Belly fame, calling him ‘very special’. “It is a very fantastic film. It will be completed in July as we still have about 50% of the shoot left,” said John. Sonakshi was also present at the screening.



Force 2 will mark the first time that John and Sonakshi grace the big screen together.

The film promises to be bigger than its first part, which was directed by Nishikant Kamat and starred Genelia D’Souza. In the meantime, John is focusing on his current project. “It’s just started but the response has been fantastic,” he said of Rocky Handsome. “The heartening response has been that all sections of the audience have really enjoyed it. Saying anything now will be pre-mature but I’m very happy.” The 43-year-old also shared snippets of the compliments the action-thriller has gotten him so far. “The biggest compliment that I have received is that Rocky Handsome is my best film up to date. People have spoken about the action and liked it. They are saying they have not seen this kind of action on Indian screens before,” he added.

Rocky Handsome also stars actors Shruti Haasan and Kamat as the villain. It is slated to release on Friday, March 25.
