Actor John Abraham feels that instead of getting inspired by Hollywood films, Bollywood filmmakers should start adapting stories from books.
"Most of the time, in our industry we get a lot of inspiration from other films, especially English films. But I think the best inspiration you can get is out of books," the 39-year-old said at the launch of the book In A Bubble of Time.
"Even English films that have done well got their inspiration out of books. So I think it's important to read and get new ideas and I think that is where we are limiting ourselves," he added.
If Abraham was to make a film based on a book, which one would that be?
"I have been a great fan of 20th century fiction and I love Jeffrey Archer. So, I have read all his books and if I have to make a Hindi picture I would definitely make it on a Jeffrey Archer book," he said.
The actor had featured in the film 7 Khoon Maaf which was based on Ruskin Bond's short story Susanna's Seven Husbands.
