John Abraham wraps up his next Satyameva Jayate 2

Bollywood star John Abraham recently wrapped up the shoot of his next film Satyamev Jayate 2, which is a Milap Zaveri directorial. As the title aptly suggests, the film is a sequel to his 2018 vigilant action film Satyamev Jayate which turned out to be an instant success at the box-office despite clashing with superstar Akshay Kumar’s sports drama Gold.


After finishing the final schedule of Satyamev Jayate 2, which marks the acting comeback of Divya Khosla Kumar, Abraham has reportedly moved on to shoot his next Attack. The Lakshya Raj Anand directorial, which was announced in 2019, quietly hit the shooting floor in Delhi. The film also stars Jacqueline Fernandez and Rakul Preet Singh in lead roles.

Sharing some more details, a source close to the development tells a popular online publication, “It is on the verge of completion and John intends to finish a major chunk of the film by mid-next month.”

The source goes on to add that Attack also features a British actor in an important role. A brief schedule with him will take place in India once the lockdown restrictions are eased off in the UK and air travel is allowed.

“They cannot complete the film without the British actor as a lot of the film has already been shot with him. The final schedule will be chalked out depending on the feasibility of his return to India. Right now, UK is impacted by the second strain of Covid and the team of Attack does not want to risk by bringing him to India,” adds the source.

After completing the ongoing schedule of Attack, John Abraham will fly off to UAE to join the shoot of Yash Raj Films’ Pathan, co-starring Shah Rukh Khan, and Deepika Padukone. The Siddharth Anand directorial features the actor as the antagonist.

“John will be off to UAE for the schedule of Pathan. While SRK and Deepika have already started work on the film, John is yet to shoot, and he will join the team only in the UAE schedule, wherein the major chunk of action and thrill unfolds. It is said to be among the biggest schedules of Pathan,” the source concludes.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas on backing 'Born Hungry': "As an actor and as a producer, my hats are different"

Highlights

  • Priyanka backs Born Hungry because Simpson’s story moved her personally.
  • She hopes the film’s JioHotstar release helps him trace his roots.
  • Her production choices are shaped by her own experience entering the industry without support.


As an actor, Priyanka Chopra Jonas is constantly trying to challenge herself but as a producer, she says she wants to back stories that move her personally, something that propelled her to back the documentary "Born Hungry" on celebrity chef Sash Simpson. The documentary, currently streaming on JioHotstar in India, traces the life of Simpson -- from being abandoned as a young boy in India to his adoption in Canada and his eventual success as a renowned chef. It is produced by Priyanka's banner Purple Pebble Pictures along with Barry Avrich's Melbar Entertainment Group. The actor, known for her extensive filmography in India and in the US, said she was moved by Sash Simpson's story. "As an actor and as a producer, my hats are kind of different. And my brain splits into two. I think as an actor, I'm constantly trying to challenge myself. I want to be able to see if I can navigate different genres and if I can do action, comedy, drama... I love challenging myself and that is why my acting career has had variety. "As a producer, I'm empathetic and our ethos is a lot around wanting to give opportunities to newer filmmakers or filmmakers that want to achieve something that they haven't been able to or are kind of hitting a wall somewhere. My production side kind of comes from what personally moves me," Priyanka told PTI in an interview from Los Angeles.
