He added that a person should be careful while doing action sequences and not have a 'false sense of bravado'. "Some stunts are very deadly. I remember during 'Force 2' I smashed my knee and I had to get three surgeries. I had gangrene in my right leg and the doctors wanted to amputate my leg. I said, 'No, you can't do that'. But thanks to my surgeon in Bombay, Dr. Rajesh Maniar; he saved my knee," John was quoted as saying by TOI.

John added, "This was about 7 years back and thankfully it is gone. I'm walking today, I'm squatting today and I'm even more flexible and faster than I was then. I love doing action. Of course, I take a break and I do something that's different, but I love coming back to action. You need to be careful. You can't have a false sense of bravado to prove to five people on a set that you can jump from here to there. At times you get hurt and then you become a little more cognisant about the dangers."

John's love for action films is not hidden to anyone.
