Milap Zaveri's next is cop-killer drama with John Abraham, Manoj Bajpayee

Nikkhil Advani's upcoming production will feature John Abraham and Manoj Bajpayee in the lead roles. Director Milap Zaveri will mark his return to the action-thriller genre with this film. 

In an interview with daily, Times of India, producer Advani said of the film, "It is a very tight script which revolves around a cop and a murderer. I can't reveal who between the two is playing what, but both are powerful characters and a dark thriller is a genre I haven't explored before." 

Both the producer Advani, and director Zaveri, have previously worked with John Abraham. While Advani directed Abraham in the 2007 musical, Salaam-E-Ishq, Zaveri wrote the dialogues for Shootout At Wadala (2013) which starred John Abraham and Manoj Bajpayee. 

The same report quoted John as saying, "It is one of the best scripts I have heard in recent times. Nikkhil has directed me in the past; Milap has written Shootout At Wadala and Manoj is someone I deeply respect. So I am sure we will crack this." 

Bajpayee said, "I love the combination of drama and emotion with a correct mix of suspense in the script. It will be a great collaboration." 

The team is expected to start workshops in mid-December, while the film will go on floors in January. 

John will be next seen in Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran, while Manoj Bajpayee is currently shooting for Devashish Makhija's Bhonsle.
