Koimoi.com brings you 10 things you didn’t know about Force:
Cop Again
John Abraham doesn’t just play a cop in the film, he is a tough narcotics officer in the movie. The last time John played a cop was in Paap (2003).
Hurt, Not Retired
Even though John has one of the best bodies in Bollywood, this is the first time that he has bagged a hardcore action role. He suffered 282 bruises, innumerable scratches and 7 broken bones during the shoot of the film.
Featherweight
Not only did John Abraham lift a bike weighing a 150 kgs, he also jumped from a height of 150 ft on an air bag without any cables.
Jai Jawan!
Force will have exclusive preview screenings of the movie for the armed forces and their families. John Abraham even shot a promo specially created for jawans.
Pump It Up
Bulking up for Force was no laughing matter. John Abraham took 2 months off to get under the skin of his character – NCP Yashvardhan.
Real Life Inspiration
Apart from research on the subject of drug dealing, the locations that these activities take place and how the system functions, John even met with a senior narcotics officer.
Kaakha Kaakha To Force
The film is a remake of the Tamil film Kaakha Kaakha which starred Suriya in the lead role. Suriya’s Tamil film Singham was remade with Ajay Devgan in the title role.
Teacher Turns Social Activist
In the Tamil film, south actress Jyothika Saravanam essayed the role of a school teacher. In the Hindi remake, however, Genelia D’souza plays the role of a social activist.
Till Death Do Us Part?
There was a lot of controversy around John Abraham and Genelia D’souza’s marriage scene in the movie. Director Nishikant Kamat had a real priest on board for the marriage scene. The priest claimed that John and Genelia had actually been married while the director protested that they had stopped shooting before they could complete the ceremony. Promotion gimmick or not, you decide.
Too Much Muscle
One of the scenes required Genelia D’souza to stand behind John. But every time the hunky star raised his hands, his biceps would cover Genelia’s face and not show on the monitor!
