The role has to have an edge, says John Abraham, who made sexy look sexier in Jism and grey even greyer in 'New York'.
After a decade in movies, the Bollywood heartthrob believes his middle-class roots have helped him balance his personal and professional life.
"I have grown up in a middle-class family; so my value system and lifestyle are also very regular," says John, who features in the just released 'Race 2'.
"I have matured and settled down mentally. As an actor, the growth has been tremendous too. If you see 'Race 2' or I, Me Aur Main, my action hero concept was very strong. But someone saw I, Me Aur Main and said you have transformed from action Abraham to actor Abraham. I have mastered the art of understanding what my audience wants... I know how to add that extra edge to a character," he adds.
"The price of being a celebrity is the criticism and I use that positively to make myself superior, better and stronger. So, the cons actually work for me, making my pros stronger," he says.
Further, on his stint as a producer, he says, "If 'Vicky Donor' is a benchmark, I have to make films in that space, which are commercially
entertaining."
