"I am pretty much an agnostic tending to become an atheist so my only religion is my body. I think there is nothing more important than health and workout. I want to live with a six pack and die with a six pack."
"I credit Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan for creating that awareness amongst the youth to go to the gym. To have a good body you need a completely disciplined lifestyle," said John, who was in the Capital to launch Philip's body-groomer.
The actor, who has been in the industry for over a decade now and has given hits like 'Desi Boyz' and 'Force', recently turned a producer with Ayushmann Khurrana 'Vicky Donor', which was a critical and commercial success.
John says he is in a very happy space right now as an actor and producer and he wants to provide platform for new talent in the industry.
"When you are an actor you are just a means to an end and not the end in itself. So I decided to produce films and I wanted to be a hands on producer, most actors produce films which they only act in. I wanted to make sure that I make the films I believe in even if the cast is otherwise," he added.
John has three more films - 'Jaffna', 'Hamara Bajaj' and 'Kala Ghoda' - in the pipeline.
