A compliment for John

Recently, at a meeting in Beverly Hills, Sylvester Stallone was informed that Bollywood was planning to remake his iconic movie ‘Rambo’.

 He seemed quite pleased with the prospect. Not only that, he also suggested that John Abraham would be perfect as the soldier, and even complimented John on his physique. “Actually, he’s built better than I ever was,” says Stallone.

Of course, this is quite a compliment for Bollywood’s favourite hunk. And John — who is currently riding high on the praise he’s received for his flick ‘Shootout at Wadala’ — can’t be happier about it. It came as a surprise to him, but was undeniably a pleasant one.

An ecstatic John says, “I’m overwhelmed and it’s a privilege to be encouraged by none other than Stallone, who has always been my hero. His ‘Rocky 4’ is the reason why I got into films.”
