John Abraham is currently busy promoting his new film Satyameva Jayate an action thriller film directed by Milap Milan Zaveri. It is due to release on 15 August 2018. He has also signed another film which is going to produce with Bhushan Kumar and Nikkhil Advani.
John Abraham believes regional cinema is far ahead of Bollywood, in terms of content, as it concentrates on story instead of “huge unnecessary budgets”. The actor-producer has entered the regional space with his first Marathi production, Savita Damodar Paranjpe.“I feel that the best content comes from regional cinema. When you have don’t have an unnecessarily huge budget, you concentrate on the one thing that matters – content,” John says. “The content here is fantastic. I think after this there will be a trend which has already started and this film will be remade in Hindi,” asserted John “As a producer, I try to make good cinema, and this is one of those compelling scripts. There are certain stories that should be made in a certain language. When I first heard this story, I knew that it was meant to be made in Marathi,” he says.
When asked if he wishes to also act in Marathi films, he said, “I’d love to do a Marathi film because I’m a Marathi boy and proud of it. I was born and brought up here and belong to this city. Marathi is our first language, we must speak it more often but unfortunately we don’t.” Based on a popular play of the same name, the film features Subodh Bhave, Trupti Toradmal and Raqesh Bapat.
