John Abraham prefers to keep action sequences real, raw in new cop drama, Force






Abraham, who is acting in producer Vipul Shah's Hindi remake of the 2003 action Tamil blockbuster Kaakha Kaakha, which starred Suriya as an encounter cop, will not play the sort of cop who can beat 50 opponents with one kick like Salman Khan did in Dabangg.

Called Force, the film will be directed by Nishikant Kamat.

Both Shah and Kamat have decided to steer clear of the Dabangg-Wanted style of action. What we will see will be a realistic, gritty action film associated with true-life cop dramas like Govind Nihalani's Ardh Satya and Steven Soderbergh's Traffic.

"John doesn't want to do a Salman in Force. Both, producer Vipul Shah and director Nishikant Kamat felt that the Telugu-Tamil kind of Rajnikanth-Mahesh Babu action, which has lately been re-introduced in Hindi cinema through Salman, is done to death. That is also the kind of action we saw in Kaakha Kaakha. The Force team felt decided tou00a0 go the other way and keep the action sequences as real as they get, such as cops intercepting criminals on roads as they speed away after a crime. It's deglamourised action," says a source.
