While John Abraham is quite fit, filmmaker Nishikanth Kamat believes that isn't enough.

He requires John to undergo special training for his role in Kamat's untitled action film. Now, John will take off for the US in February where he will be given commando-like training by the specialists who have worked for films like 'Kill Bill'.

According to sources, the director wants the film to be made on Hollywood standards. John's training session will be about a month long with 10-12 hours of daily effort. John doesn't need to change his diet as it is pretty healthy and he can continue to follow his current fitness regime.

John is very excited about Kamat's film and is waiting to work with him. He hasn't done action films in the past and wants to try the genre.

The film's remaining cast hasn't been decided upon. The film will start rolling around mid-year and the pre-production work has already been started by UTV.
