John will get to indulge in his passion

The dashing John Abraham will get to indulge in his passion for soccer in his forthcoming Bollywood film. John has been quoted by a website that he is thrilled to play the lead in Goal – an upcoming movie about soccer.

"I've always been a huge (soccer) freak and this passion for the game took me all the way to Germany this year to see the World Cup finals," John was quoted as saying on Tuesday.

All know that John has also got a soft spot for motorcycles, and shot to fame two years ago in Dhoom for his role as the leader of a gang of bikers who rob rich Mumbai businessmen.

The Goal production team has begun scouting stadiums in Britain and Spain and hopes to begin shooting later this year.

I told you earlier that Saif Ali Khan was likely to star in Goal. But the movie's director, Vivek Agnihotri, has now reportedly clarified that he has selected John for the role.

"It is great to have John on board," Agnihotri was quoted as saying, noting that John was "an avid football fan and a serious player."
