John Abraham has as many as 8 'item numbers' in Rocky
Handsome. No, these are not one of the many hit songs that he has been a part
of over the years. Neither is he getting jiggy with another 'Laila' outing
alongside a hot-bod. Instead, he is appearing in as many as 8 'cool & sexy'
action sequences, which are being proudly referred to as his 'item numbers' no
less.
"That's correct," verifies producer Sunir
Kheterpal of Azure Entertainment, "The original Korean film too was abound
with action. However, when we decided to adapt it as per Indian milieu, we made
sure that John Abraham as a star stood out as well. He has a loyal audience
that has been following his action ever since the days of Dhoom. They expect
something different from him each time around. Hence, for Rocky Handsome, we
made sure that each of these 8 action sequences was different from the other.
They had to have that special 'tadka' in there which made on look forward to
the next serving."
For John, it was one challenge that he loved to pick up,
courtesy his 13 years in the industry that has seen him enact quite a few
action packed roles.
But, with his subsequent movies like Race 2, Shootout at
Wadala and Madras Cafe, there was added variety that started coming in,
something that made John take it all to the next level with Rocky Handsome.
"Well, the idea is to keep moving ahead, otherwise
what's the point. See, when you say action, you typically associate it with
blood and gore. That is not the case here. Each one of my '8 item numbers here'
is cool, sexy and urban. Isn't that what you anyways expect from an item
number," says John.
