With his last two films Ashaayein and Jhootha Hi Sahi, John’s producers are not discouraged, instead are in the process of enhancing the original material.

Director Nishikant Kamat remains unfazed by the performance of John’s films. “My producer Vipul Shah and I signed John for the Kaakha Kaakha remake because we saw him doing the action hero’s part to perfection. John will be performing some of the most dangerous stunts ever seen in our film,” he said.

A source close to John says it’s goodbye to experimental characters for the actor. It’s muscles and beefcake all the way as the pinup boy acquires an adrenaline-pumping chest-thumping image for his next, said the source.
