Just recently we got to see the first poster from ‘Parmanu’ starring John Abraham and Diana Penty. Shooting of which will be wrapped up in a few weeks.
John was said to start shooting for the production house, Kriarj Entertainment’s next project, an actioner, co-produced by ‘Aamir’ (2008) and ‘No One Killed Jessica’ (2011) director, Raj Kumar Gupta. But a leading daily now says that John has walked out of this tentatively titled film ‘Chor Nikal Ke Bhaaga’ because of creative differences with Gupta.
A source has said, “The film was to go on the floors next month, but it has now been pushed to the end of the year. Actor Rajkummar Rao has been roped in instead. Since Rao is currently sporting the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose look for Hansal Mehta’s film, the makers will have to wait. Meanwhile, Gupta, who was left in a spot after Abraham’s exit, has found a major studio to back his movie.”
When the daily contacted Gupta for his comments, he said, “I was co-producing the film with John. But we are not doing the film together now. I am making it with another studio.”
Coming to ‘Parmanu’, the film is slated to release on December 8, 2017. The film is directed by Abhishek Sharma and is based on the nuclear test conducted at Pokhran in 1998.
