MUMBAI: John Abraham is known to be a tough guy. Be it his beefed up body and his bulkiness or his role in the upcoming ‘Madras Café’. But recently on a dance reality show, the actor surprised one and all by showing off his dance moves.

He chose to keep his muscle power aside and instead put on his dancing shoes. He even out mastered his fellow competitor, television actor Sidharth Shukla, but in a different kind of competition!

The incident goes like this – when John lost the dance competition with Karan Johar, he was asked to measure his muscles with Siddharth Shukla. It’s anyone’s guess who the winner was!

John was there to promote his film ‘Madras Café’ directed by ‘Vicky Donor’ director Shoojit Sircar. In the film, John plays the role of an intelligence officer. The film also stars actress Nargis Fakhri in the lead.

Looks like John Abraham played his intelligence on the show also quite well by showing his dance and flexing his muscles equally well. One really doesn’t remember when John Abraham had last danced!

‘Madras Café’ produced by John Abraham under his banner JA Entertainment is set to hit theatres on 23 August.
