The 39-year-old made heads turn when he wore yellow swimming trunks in a famous scene inDostana and John says there is nothing more important to him than his health.
"I credit Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan for creating that awareness amongst the youth to go to the gym. To have a good body you need a completely disciplined lifestyle," said John, who was in the Capital to launch Philip's body-groomer.
The actor, who has been in the industry for over a decade now and has given hits like Desi Boyzand Force, recently turned a producer with Ayushmann Khurrana's Vicky Donor, which was a critical and commercial success.
John says he is in a very happy space right now as an actor and producer and he wants to provide platform for new talent in the industry. "When you are an actor you are just a means to an end and not the end in itself. So I decided to produce films and I wanted to be a hands on producer, most actors produce films which they only act in. I wanted to make sure that I make the films I believe in even if the cast is otherwise," he added. John has three more films - Jaffna, Hamara Bajaj and Kala Ghoda - in the pipeline."Jaffna was in the making for about two years and because of that Vicky Donor happened.Jaffna is the film which Shoojit and I are doing together. Hamara Bajaj was also a film which Shoojit was planning to make with a new comer. "So we decided to take Ayushmann in that. Third film is Kaala Ghoda, directed by Aditya Bhattacharya. We also have three more films but they are in initial stages," John said.
The actor is currently shooting for his upcoming movie Shootout At Wadala, where he plays gangster Manya Surve. John calls the film a complete game changer for him and he says people will be surprised to see him as a gangster.
"As an actor Shootout At Wadala is a complete game changer. It is going to shock people in a very positive way and it's a film that I have put my heart and soul in. It's going to be a very special film for me," he said.
John is also a part of Race 2, a sequel to 2008 Saif Ali Khan starrer Race, where he plays a 'cool baddie
The top Islamic official in Russia's largely Muslim Tatarstan region was wounded in a bomb attack and a deputy was killed in a separate shooting on Thursday, rocking a province long seen as a showcase of religious tolerance in Russia.President Vladimir Putin called for unity and condemned the attacks, which were carried out hours before the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which begins in Russia at sundown on Thursday."Law enforcement bodies are doing everything to find, expose and punish the criminals," Putin said.Tatarstan's mufti, Ildis Faizov, was hospitalized after three powerful blasts targeted his car. He said he was able to get out of the SUV after the first explosion before more blasts sent flames roaring above the vehicle."I felt a first weak explosion in the front part of the car and immediately crawled out of the automobile," said Faizov, who was shown on state television in a hospital bed, according to a statement on the Tatarstan authorities' website.Reuters television footage showed the vehicle engulfed in the blaze and billowing smoke on a wide avenue in central Kazan, a popular destination for tourists from Moscow, about 735 km (450 miles) east of Russia's capital.Around the same time, deputy mufti Valiulla Yakupov was shot dead outside his home, the Investigative Committee said.Russia's Investigative Committee called the car bomb blasts a "terrorist act".
The motives were unknown and no suspects were named, but the seemingly coordinated attacks evoked the deadly violence that is far more frequent in the mainly Muslim regions of Russia's North Caucasus.Militants fighting to carve an Islamic state from the North Caucasus along Russia's southern flank sometimes target mainstream Muslim leaders backed by the authorities.Leaders of the insurgency in the North Caucasus have issued appeals to Muslims in other regions of the predominantly Orthodox Christian country, where Muslims are a minority of about 15 percent, to join their fight.But oil-producing Tatarstan, which enjoys a higher degree of autonomy from Moscow than other regions and is home to a majority ethnic Tatar population, is relatively peaceful.There were no immediate claims of responsibility for the attacks.Faizov had been criticized over a scandal around the distribution of rights to make the holy pilgrimage to Mecca. Yaroslav Nilov, chairman of a parliamentary religious bodies committee, said Faizov had taken increasing control over the haj, according to Interfax news agency.
