Rocky Handsome is the closest Bollywood will get to James Bond. The new trailer proves it.

The much awaited trailer of John Abraham’s upcoming movie Rocky Handsome is out, and we don’t know if one would be able to handle the level of hotness that the Bollywood hunk has brought to our screens.

The trailer starts with a romantic and more importantly clean shaven John Abraham, who looks so much in love with Shruti Haasan in sceneic beaches of Seychelles. However, the happiness is short lived as Haasan’s character probably dies, leaving Kabir with a broken heart and quite some stubble.

The scene then shifts to a pawn shop that he owns and manages, named as KA Pawn Shop, after his character Kabir Ahlawat. An 8-year old girl, who calls him handsome (thus the title) deposits a camera bag in the shop against 500 Rupees, which she wants to use to learn nail art. Just when Kabir is getting his smile back and bonding with Naomi, she gets abducted by drug mafia and thus starts the mission of his life, to get the little girl back at any cost.

The second half of the trailer shows why the makers are promoting the movie as the best action movie of the year, because pretty much every stunt that you can imagine a man carrying nothing but a knife has been done, and there comes a time even in the 3-minute long trailer that you want a break from the violence and bloodshed.

Needless to say, Abraham looks perfect for the role of an assassin, with his ripped muscles and dead expressions, and the villain of the movie, who reminds you of Roadies fame twins Raghu and Rajiv, does justice to his small appearance. What comes as a surprise is that the villain is none other than Nishikant Kamat himself, who has directed the movie, having helmed hit movies like Force and Drishyam.

Beneath the action, it is the moving tale of a man who never had a child trying to rescue a child who never had a father figure in her life, and we are sure that Kamat, who is experienced in handling both actions and emotions, must have done justice to both the angels in the story.

Produced by John Abraham under his banner John Abraham Entertainment and Sunir Khetrapal’s Azure Entertainment, the movie has got its music by Sunny and Inder Bawra, Ankit Tiwari and Bombay Rockers. The action thriller releases on 25^th March, a week safely after Kapoor & Sons and along with Great Grand Masti, thereby having no cutthroat competition.
