The actor took to Twitter Friday to share the first look poster of the untitled film.  All we can see in the poster is the silhouette of the actor in a police uniform and words such as "encounter", "controversial cop", "Indian Mujahideen" etc written all over.


John wrote: "Every story has two points of view. One WRONG. The other RIGHT. But what if the lines are blurred? Very very blurred! (sic)."



John shared another poster and wrote: "Encounters: 70 Cases: 33 Convictions: 22 Gallantry Awards: 9 Accusations: 1 “When everything you’ve achieved could be wiped out in that one moment.” The story of India’s Most Decorated/Controversial Cop @itsBhushanKumar @nikkhiladvani @TSeries @EmmayEntertain @johnabrahament (sic)."



The film directed by Nikhil Advani is slated to release on August 15 next year.


John recently completed shooting for RAW (Romeo Akbar Walter) co-starring Mouni Roy, Jackie Shroff, Suchitra Krishnamoorthi and Sikander Kher. The film will hit theatres on March 15, 2019.


He will start shooting for the film on Batla House on November 1 and wrap up by the first week of January next year, reports suggest.


John, a model-turned-actor is also a film producer. He has produced films such as Vicky Donor, Madra Cafe, Rocky Handsome, Force 2, Parmanu- The Story of Pokhran and Marathi film Savita Damodar Paranjpe.
