Dhoni pays John Abraham a surprise visit

October 31, 2007 15:02 IST

India cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Bollywood actor John Abraham share more than their hairstyles and hairstylist.

John had declared earlier that Dhoni is his favourite cricketer. We are not sure if Johnnyboy is Dhoni's favourite actor, but the Indian captain dropped in on the sets of Nagesh Kukunoor's Aashayein, which stars John in the lead.

The film, produced by Percept Picture Company, was being shot in Andheri, Mumbai.

Dhoni dropped in to meet John and stayed to watch the shooting. They discussed everything from films to cricket and bikes on the set.

The atmosphere became really lively after Dhoni arrived. The dashing batsman stayed back and watched John do some intense scenes.
