John Abraham turns big brother for Varun

New Delhi: Gushing over his newly built relationship with ' Dhishoom' co-star Varun Dhawan, John Abraham revealed about his protective big bro streak that came forth while shooting for the film.

According to the 'Rocky Handsome' actor, he made sure Varun stayed safe during the action sequences, reports DNA.

"Yes, I was there to look out for Varun. He was new to doing action. I thought it was prudent of me to be around to check the harness, etc, to see he was okay. We had to make sure he was well-protected," he said.
