Our very own Johnny boy has given professionalism a new definition playing a stress puppet at the hands of his director.

The director in question, namely Anurag Kashyap made Abraham work for 48 hours non-stop to make john look weary and exhausted for a particular scene. John Abraham might just find a place in the Limca Book Of World Records thanks to his new film, No Smoking.

To achieve such a tired look from a fresh faced actor Kashyap to ensure he overworked John!

Everyone in the unit thought this was impossible for an actor to do, but Anurag didn't want to give up so he went up to John and told him that he needed to finish a couple of scenes within the schedule and it would be great if he could work non-stop.

The shoot went on for over 24 hours getting John curious to know whether Anurag even planned to wind up the shoot. John didn't complain even once.Finally, after 48 hours of non-stop shooting, John become really tired and it showed on his face. That's when Anurag decided to shoot the scene he'd been overworking John for.

John has two days off after that.

Kashyap admits he was a bit inhuman with John but was also cared as he had heard all sorts of scary stories where stars refuse to work beyond eight hours.

Produced under the banner Big Screen Entertainment banner and Vishal Bhardwaj Pictures, No Smoking also stars Ayesha Takia, Paresh Rawal, Ranvir Shorey and Sanjay Singh. Vishal Bhardwaj has composed the film's music with lyrics by Gulzar.
