John turns producer!
John Abraham is super excited about his next film with Abbas Tyrewala. So much so that he's decided to turn producer with the film. Guess John's has been impressed by Tyrewala's success with Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na!
The buzz is that 1-800-Love, penned by Tyrewala's wife Paakhi, is a quirky, witty and savagely funny look at the man-woman relationship. Apparently so impressed was Abbas with Paakhi that he had no objection about she wanting to be the heroine of the film!
As for John, he can't help but gush over the film's script! Abbas said, "After hearing the narration, John not only loved the script, he wanted to come on as a partner. So, effectively, the project will have three producers: Madhu K., John and myself."
The movie gets its title from the toll-free phone numbers in the US. It will be shot in Boston in April in a start-to-finish schedule.
The word is that after Anurag Kashyap's No Smoking and Nagesh Kukunoor's to-be-released Aashayein, John is now looking out for roles that would challenge him as an actor.
