John and Raghu unevils MTV Roadies 8.0

John Abraham, whose love for bikes is well known, has been roped in by MTV for a cameo in Roadies. He will also be promoting his upcoming film JHOOTHA HI SAHI through the show.

John said, "Being a biking enthusiast myself, I'm a big fan of Roadies. I've worked with Raghu in JHOOTHA HI SAHI and I was thrilled when he told me he was coming back to it! We were looking at doing something interesting together again, and so decided to bring my character from JHOOTHA HI SAHI, Sid, to help out the lakhs of fans who participate. Though not a liar, Sid ends up having to lie to get what he wants throughout the film. So I'm going to run a helpline, called 'Sid's helpline', and give tips to contestants on how to lie a little to get ahead. To bend the rules, not necessarily cheat. I am the edge that could help you win"

Taking about his biggest real life stunt the 38-year-old actor said, "I had the habit on riding on one wheel and not two on a motor cycle. But when I became an actor, I realised that I was a bit of a role model. So it's better to ride on two wheels. My longest wheelie has been about three kilometres."

Speaking about JHOOTHA HI SAHI, John said, "It is probably for guys who want to see young and fresh films. It's like NOTTING HILL in terms of the freshness of the film. Just go out and enjoy it."

JHOOTHA HI SAHI is being directed by JAANE TU YA JAANE NA fame director Abbas Tyrewala. Abbas's wife Palkhi also stars in the film, which releases on October 15.
