After a long gap of 5 years, John Abraham and Manoj Bajpayee are joining forces once again for an upcoming film, tentatively titled Raakh. The actors last worked together in the Sanjay Gupta directed gangster drama, Shootout At Wadala.
The duo will begin work on their next project from 5th March as that is when the film is mounting the shooting floor. The movie is scheduled to arrive in cinemas in the second half of the year.
Raakh is being bankrolled by Nikkhil Advani and Bhushan Kumar who are producing it under their banners Emmay Entertainment and T-Series respectively. Today, the whole team officially announced the project.
Talking about his film, Nikhil had earlier said, “It’s a very tight script which revolves around a cop and a murderer. I can’t reveal who between the two is playing what but they are both very powerful characters and a dark thriller is a genre I haven’t explored before. We are looking forward to the shoot.”
The film will be helmed by screenwriter-director Milap Zaveri who last directed the Sunny Leone starrer Mastizaade.
Meanwhile, John Abraham will shortly be seen in his home production, Parmanu: The Story Of Pokhran. Co-produced by KriArj Entertainment, the movie is releasing on 6th April. Manoj Bajpayee's next Aiyaary releases in cinemas on 16th February.
