John Abraham is currently shooting since few weeks in Hyderabad for his UTV film Hook Ya Crook being directed by
David Dhawan.
Now since it is a very long shooting schedule, John is going to be holed up in the Charminar
city for a good one long month more. A unit source revealed to us, "As few days passed by shooting in Hyderabad,
John started missing his daily workouts.
After all it was his body that was more talked about than this facial
muscles or acting skills in his recent hit Dostana. Not in a mood to lose his well sculpted shape, he demanded a
private gym arrangement with the film's producers.
And the UTV guys without any hassle arranged the same
for him almost immediately. Well perhaps they too know that its John's great body that will play an important role in
their film's success."
Another source however further added, "There is also a special reason behind UTV officials sanctioning a private gym
immediately for John.
John had volunteered to cut off 60% of his remuneration for the film understanding well
the problems of on going recession. So in a way the UTV guys were more than happy to accommodate John's whims
and fancies when he had shown so much consideration for them."
Hook Ya Crook is a comic thriller that also has cricket as its integral part.
The film stars Genelia D'Souza
opposite John and also has Shreyas Talpade and Kay Kay Menon in pivotal roles. John we have learnt has been taking
cricketing lessons from one Dinesh (Raju) Lad, who is also the coach for Indian team member Rohit Sharma.
