John turns saviour for Genelia

John Abraham, who's playing a hard core action hero in Nishikant Kamat’s Force, turned saviour for co-star Genelia.

John, who has trained extensively to combat the villain, will be seen as someone, who is running on top of the trains, hitting people with hands and using aggressive action. Incidentally, John is not only playing Genelia’s hero in the movie, but he proved to be one in real life too. Recently, while shooting for a travel sequence for Force, John and Genelia could have met with a untoward accident, but the situation was averted by John.

The duo had to drive in an open jeep from Mumbai to Malshej Ghat, which is approximately a four hours drive through steep roads and sharp turns, but for John and Genelia, it turned out to be a journey to remember.

Apparently, while shooting for the scene on an unfriendly road, which was completely wet due to untimely rains, John’s jeep skid on one of the sharp turns and got tilted toward the ghat, the entire team panicked and rushed towards the jeep. Since any overreaction could have resulted in a fatal accident, John maintained his cool, while Genelia was completely terrified by the accident and the brave John managed to escape out of the jeep along with Genelia, with just minor scratches. The jeep was then brought back to the road with the help of a chopper and they resumed the shoot, only to finish it safely.

Directed by Nishikant Kamat and produced by Vipul Shah, Force, slated to release on September 16.
