Actor-producer John Abraham, who has bought a stake in the
Hockey India League team Delhi Waveriders, tells he determined to become a
co-owner as he wanted to be more than just a face and contribute to important
team decisions.
"Being just an actor and endorsing the team would mean
just sitting in the dugout or probably in the stand wearing dark glasses or
dancing to an item song. That's exactly I didn't want to do. I wanted to
practice and play with the team, decide the strategy and pick players,"
the 41-year-old told here during the promo shoot of the team.
"The WAVE group
approached me and said they want me to be a part of the Hockey India League and
endorse the Delhi Waveriders. We both came to a conclusion that I need to
co-own the team to run it and do more than just being a face," he further added.
John is also producing a movie on football titled
"1911" which revolves around two popular football clubs Mohun Bagan
and East Bengal .
The movie will be directed by Shoojit Sircar and goes on
floors in October this year.
