There were many such many stances like for New York, water jism,even jhootha hi sahi or his very recent roles in Force, Madras cafe. The dialog delivery an action hero requires his superfit body for the same.
I think his production house gives him that scope to bring out the best from within him creatively and for other actor directors too. His education and kifaydi middle class sense allows him to make low bidjet good movies.
IF taken Siddharth he was very good in HTP.. Even varun... I Ranveer is of different class altogether hehe.
Everyone needs a chance to shine, the young lot are getting and if they are able they will shine brightly, unfortunately John didn't get a chance in his early years, I mean he was never backed by any production house... He remained outsider forever, that's where he lacked behind.
