Indian actor and former model John Abraham is designing a new line of Wrangler jeans for the Indian market. Abraham will be partnering with international designer Salli Deighton and Indian designer Ramneel Walia to create the new line for the popular U.S. jeans label.

Abraham said in an interview with Gulfnews, "The style is basic and retro and reflects my personality. I have worked along with an Italian designer to develop the line and the inside pocket of every pair of jeans has the history of how I arrived at that particular design.

"In India we usually get the season's collections a few months later than the West, but this is the first line that will be on par with the rest of the world. I will do a new collection every season and it will be available only at a few select stores in the Indian metros."

Abraham was one of India's most successful models before he started his acting career. His hit movies include "Jism," "Dhoom," "Taxi No. 9211" and "Garam Masala."
