John Abraham to use bonus holiday for acting workshop

John Abraham, whose prison-break film "Hook Ya Crook" got wrapped up way ahead of schedule, says he plans to join a workshop for his yet-to-be-shot Tyrewala`s `1:800 Love`.

Mumbai, May 08: John Abraham, whose prison-break film "Hook Ya Crook" got wrapped up way ahead of schedule, says he plans to join a workshop for his yet-to-be-shot Abbas Tyrewala`s "1:800 Love" during the unexpected break.

"We`ve finished the film 27 days ahead of schedule. Can you believe it? And such a difficult film requiring huge amounts of canvas crowds and concentration. David Dhawan is one of the fastest and most efficient directors I`ve worked with," said John, who is now used to delays in Bollywood. "I`d have liked to take a holiday. But God has his own plans. I`m plunging into a month-long workshop for `1:800 Love`, something I wouldn`t have been able to do if David`s film hadn`t wrapped up well in advance." The workshop with Abbas and his wife Pakhi is expected to change John`s speech pattern and body language, making him more casual and connected with the London-based character he plays in the film. John, who also needs to work to normalise his 31-inch waist and six-foot-one-inch height, said: "I just have to be a normal guy in Abbas` film which is what I am anyway. Just have to sharpen my skills at normalcy." When asked if "Hook Ya Crook" is supposed to be a cricket story, John said: "It`s a prison-break story. Cricket is a small part of the film. If required we`re getting (Mahendra Singh) Dhoni on board for the film." IANS
