Action stars are evergreen: John Abraham

John Abraham believes action heroes are the biggest movie stars and the actor says Bollywood needs to come up with more such icons.

The 45-year-old actor, who was last seen in action thriller "Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran", also praised Tiger Shroff for his dedication to the genre.

"I think the biggest stars are action heroes. Look at Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Dwayne Johnson. Action stars will always be evergreen.

"In our country, apart from me, there is Tiger Shroff who is doing great action. At the moment, two of us are doing action films. We both have different styles. There is a place for more action heroes but there are only two of us," John told PTI.

The actor has action films such as "Dhoom", "Force" and "Dishoom" to his credit.

He is grateful to the audience for accepting him in this avatar.

"The expectations excite me and I seek to do crazy action sequences. It is a positive responsibility on me. I wanted to be an action hero. There are some heroes who like dancing and I like fighting, lifting people and breaking bones. I enjoy it."
