Actor John Abraham is gung ho about his maiden production venture. And he is definitely not leaving any stone unturned. The recent being that in spite of an injury, John went the extra mile to make sure that the item number for his film Vicky Donor was just perfect.

What apparently happened was that the cast and the crew of the film were shooting for a particular song sequence. The shooting was expected to be wrapped up by 1.30am but lasted till the wee hours — till about 4.30am.

A source from the sets informs us, “The shoot was progressing well. But there came a certain dance sequence, which the lead character of the film, Ayushman Khurana was doing along with John. As luck would have it, Ayushman got a little intimidated and was not able to perform the steps correctly.”

The source adds, “This went on for a while and ultimately resulted in a delay in the shoot. That one song sequence took around 26 retakes for the duo to get it right. And John insisted that they do it until it is perfect. John is known to be a perfectionist but he surprised everyone this time because he had a hairline fracture in his leg while shooting for Shootout At Wadala. Still, he was supportive of Ayushman and helped him get the right steps,” the source added.

Talking about the incident, Ayushman says, “John was very supportive and was helping me boost up my energy. He had an injured leg but he still went on shooting till about 5 in the morning! He totally backed me up.”
