His is the most famous derriere in the country and now actor John Abraham is going the Jennifer Lopez way, by getting his asset insured for a sum of Rs 10 crore.

The 37-year-old actor, who showed off his toned body in ‘Dostana’, has decided to buy a policy that “extensively covers any possible risk to his famous body part”, a source said.

“Yes, there is an initiative from my side but this is a work in progress. I am meeting various people for this. At this point, I would not like to say more,” Abraham said.

However, it may not be easy for him, as insurance companies in India are not into insuring celebrity bodypart. If it happens, the ‘New York’ actor may be the first Bollywood celebrity to get a cover on his body part after Rajnikanth reportedly got his voice insured.

Many celebrities in the West, including German supermodel Heidi Klum, supermodel Claudia Schiffer and Devid Beckham have shelled out huge amount to insure their body parts.

The actor begins shooting for ‘Dostana 2’ later this year. His long stuck film ‘Aashayein’ is also releasing on August 27.
