John Abraham has reportedly signed his next thriller, joining forces with director Ribhu Dasgupta for an untitled project that is expected to begin production in London this month. While details about the film and John’s character are being kept under wraps, the makers are said to be confident that the actor is the right fit for the role, which will require him to explore a side of his performance rarely seen on screen.
John Abraham signs on for Ribhu Dasgupta’s next
According to a report by Pinkvilla, the makers believe John has the intensity and screen presence required for the character. The role reportedly demands both physicality and emotional depth, with the team expecting the actor to bring a nuanced quality to the part. There is reportedly more to John’s character than meets the eye, with the makers keeping key details under wraps. John is also said to have been closely involved in understanding and preparing for the role. The collaboration with Ribhu Dasgupta is particularly intriguing given the filmmaker’s association with the thriller genre. Dasgupta has previously directed films such as ‘Te3n’ and ‘The Girl on the Train’, both of which explored mystery and suspense-driven narratives.
John Abraham is also preparing for ‘Maria IPS ’
Alongside the new thriller, John is undergoing a significant physical transformation for another project, Rohit Shetty’s ‘Maria IPS’. The actor is set to portray police officer Rakesh Maria, with the story spanning several decades of the officer’s life. Reports suggest that John has bulked up for the portions depicting Maria during his younger years before slimming down to portray him at a later stage of his life. The role therefore requires the actor to undergo substantial physical changes while also portraying the character across different phases of his life.
John Abraham takes on two contrasting roles
The Ribhu Dasgupta thriller and ‘Maria IPS’ offer John two distinctly different acting challenges. While details about his new thriller character remain closely guarded, the role is expected to combine physical intensity with a more layered emotional performance. Meanwhile, ‘Maria IPS’ requires the actor to portray a real-life police officer across different stages of his life, making physical transformation an important part of the performance. The London schedule of Dasgupta’s thriller is expected to begin this month, with further details about the film likely to emerge as production progresses.
John Abraham’s last and next release
On the work front, John Abraham was most recently seen in ‘Tehran’. He is next set to appear in the action thriller ‘Force 3’, while his upcoming slate also includes ‘Maria IPS’ and Ribhu Dasgupta’s untitled thriller.
