The actor, who is famous for his physique, feels he has finally managed to step out of his image by playing this real-life inspired character. <img alt="John Abraham" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/jan/John-Abraham_4.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 375px;" /> Surve, a member of the Mumbai underworld, was gunned down in an encounter with police at suburban Wadala in 1982, in what is said to be the city&#39;s first recorded encounter. &quot;The story of Manya Surve is very interesting, it was a different character. It is not a risk, it is re-introduction of John Abraham. It is a new beginning. Hope people see me in a different light. &quot;For the first time I have left John Abraham behind. People will remember Manya Surve and I am confident about it. We are hopeful people will like the film,&quot; John told reporters here last evening. The actor, whose last film &#39;I Me Aur Main&#39; did not do well at the box office, thinks negative roles bring him more attention. &quot;Whenever I do negative roles the films work. Last time I did a positive role and the film did not work. I love negative roles. Normal is boring... anyone can play a hero, to play negative is an edge,&quot; he said. Directed by Sanjay Gupta, &#39;Shootout at Wadala&#39; stars John, Anil Kapoor, Kangana Ranaut, Tusshar Kapoor and Sonu Sood in lead roles. The film is slated for release on May 3. &quot;We all play gangsters in the film, we have not glorified them, shown gangsters like they are. We have tried to stay close to the facts,&quot; said the actor, who is teaming up with Gupta after &#39;Zinda&#39;. His another famous negative role was in &#39;Dhoom&#39;.u00a0
