Just A Minute With: John Abraham on 'New York'

By Shilpa Jamkhandikar

MUMBAI (Reuters) - John Abraham is hurting and it isn't for the first time.

The 36-year-old actor is laid up with a broken ankle he sustained while shooting for David Dhawan's "Hook Ya Crook".

Things are looking up on the professional front though -- after the box-office success of "Dostana", Abraham is back with Kabir Khan's "New York".

The actor spoke to Reuters about "New York", his career and why he likes being called eye candy.

Q: You seem to have hurt your leg

A: "Yes, I have broken my navicular bone. I am getting used to walking on crutches though. In 2006, I broke my other leg in a bike accident. This is actually much worse than that. You know so far, I have broken four bones in my body. That’s a lot isn't it?"

Q: Tell us about 'New York'

A: "'New York' is looking good. The name of my character is Sam, a guy who is a typical jock. He has two friends, Maya and Omar, and it is about a sequence of events that changes their lives."
