Mumbai

Actor and producer John Abraham has said he had to deconstruct himself to
play the character of junior bureaucrat in his forthcoming film "Parmanu: The
Story of Pokhran".
John, who is busy promoting his film, said this while
interacting with the media on Friday along with director Abhishek Sharma here.
Talking about his character in the film, John said: "It is based on real
incident and it happened on the May 11, 1998. To prepare for the role we did lot
of workshops."
"My character's name is Ashwath Raina who is junior
bureaucrat in Prime Minister's Office and to play this role, I had to
deconstruct myself because to look similar to real life bureaucrat, I couldn't
have a chiseled body," John said.
"Abhishek (Sharma) told me not to go
for gym sessions, and look like a regular human being. We also did lot of
research on my character."
Talking about response for the trailer and
songs of the film, John said: "I think it's very positive because what people
are saying is that 'Parmanu' is looking like a different and interesting film
but the most exciting thing that they are saying is it looks like a commercial,
engaging thriller film."
When asked John whether he was skeptical before
working in this film, because he is largely accepted as action hero, John said:
"No... because I did films like 'Madras Cafe' in the past and before that I did
lot of films in which I took lot of risk like 'Water', No Smoking' and 'Kabul
Express'."
"Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran" has been produced by Zee
Studios and Kyta Productions in association with JA Entertainment.
The
film is based on the nuclear bomb test explosions conducted by the Indian Army
at Pokhran in 1998. It features John Abraham, Diana Penty and Boman Irani. It is
slated to be released on May 25, 2018.
