'Bollywood should look for stories in books'
Actor John Abraham feels that instead of getting inspired by Hollywood
films, Bollywood filmmakers should start adapting stories from books.
"Most
of the time, in our industry we get a lot of inspiration from other
films, especially English films. But I think the best inspiration you
can get is out of books," the 39-year-old said here at the launch of the
book "In A Bubble of Time."
"Even English films that have done
well, got their inspiration out of books. So I think it's important to
read and get new ideas and I think that is where we are limiting
ourselves," he added.
If John was to make a film based on a book, which one would that be?
"I
have been a great fan of 20th century fiction and I love Jeffry Archer.
So, I have read all his books and if I have to make a Hindi picture I
would definitely make it on a Jeffrey Archer book," he said.
The actor had featured in the film "7 Khoon Maaf" which was based on Ruskin Bond's short story "Susanna's Seven Husbands".
John is currently gearing up for his next release "Housefull 2", scheduled to hit theatres April 5.
