Soon after news about the Hindi remake of Sylvester Stallone's Expendables surfaced, questions were being raised about who will step in Stallone's shoes!

Well, according to report on a popular tabloid, John Abraham will be the one to lead the 'Expendables'.

John was quoted saying, "Yes, I've been approached for the film, I'm happy and honored. I've always admitted that I am a Stallone fan. Every time I watch one of his films, I hope for an Indianised version, and The Expendables can definitely lend itself to a desi avatar because it's a truly entertaining and commercial film which has done better business outside of North America." (sic)

Nilesh Sahay, who is directing the film along with co-producing it, says, he recommended John's name to the producers of the original film: "I told them that if there was a fourth installment, he was the guy from India. And when he decided on an Indianised version set in a hyper-real world in the near future with relevance to today's times, John's was the first name that came up. He is on the cusp of being one of the biggest action heroes we've seen from India." (sic)

John also added that Nilesh will be making all the actors go through a rigorous training for better action sequences!
