John Abraham lifts a 150 kg bike in Force

Bollywood hunk John Abraham took his obsession with mean machines to another level when he surprised the cast and crew by lifting a 150 kg bike in ‘Force.’

Apparently, when director Nishikant Kamat told John about the scene, the hunk of an actor persisted on the doing the scene all by himself, that too without any harness.

Talking to a daily, producer Vipul Shah said, “I was not on the sets the day John was shooting for the scene. When Nishikant called me to say he was planning to do it without a harness, I told him not to allow him to do the same as he could hurt his back or knee. But he was confident and insisted on performing it.”

John Abraham pulled off the adrenaline rushing stunt brilliantly.

"John is a physical guy so the action was all high octane. We did use cables for certain sequences, but when it needed to be raw like the bike scene, he did it himself,” added action director Allan Amin.

Sonakshi doesn’t consider in competition

Sonakshi Sinha is giving other actresses a run for their money by bagging endorsements and big films, but the `Dabangg` girl says she doesn`t consider herself as part of the competition.

Sonakshi has got a fat role in "Race 2", which was supposed to be played by Katrina Kaif. The 24-year-old has a practical outlook about someone stepping into someone else`s shoes

"If someone is not able to do a film, someone else has to take his or her place. It`s just being at the right place at the right time," she said.

Right now her kitty is full of films. She is shooting for Shirish Kunder`s "Joker" and is about to start shooting for "Rowdy Rathore", both of which have Akshay Kumar as her co-star. Then she has "Race 2" and "Son of Sardar".

The actress, who debuted with Salman Khan in "Dabangg", has got another film called "Kick" with the star.

"I am happy that I am working with some of the best and I consider myself very fortunate enough to have got such a chance," she said.

Sonakshi`s rumoured cold war with actress Neetu Chandra and Anushka Sharma being miffed with her over her growing proximity with actor Ranveer Singh have been the talk of B-town -- however, Sonakshi doesn`t care about it any more.

"I don`t take such rumours seriously. I have stopped reading the newspapers and I am very happy. I used to feel bad initially but now I believe it is better to let people talk about you rather than not talk about you at all. I just turn a deaf ear and carry on with my work," she said with a carefree attitude.
