After Airlift and currently working together
on Satyameva Jayate, Bhushan Kumar and
Nikkhil Advani have decided to come
together yet again to produce Batla House
to be directed by Nikkhil Advani himself. The
duo has their Satyameva Jayate actor John
Abraham playing the role of Sanjeev Kumar
Yadav as the one who spearheaded the
Batla House encounter. The thriller drama
will be written by Ritesh Shah who has
worked with Nikkhil before.
The trio have had a great working relation
during the making of Satyameva Jayate. And
to make the most of this, the makers have
decided to jointly produce Batla House
together with John.
Speaking on his next, John Abraham says, "I
have always been drawn to the intrigue
and drama that real life holds. Small events,
big ones, a human experience that
resonates with a larger reality. Batla House
is on point with this pursuit I'm almost
obsessed with it. I am aware of Nikkhil's
talent but more than that I am sure of his
intent. SMJ has started a relationship that
has been wonderful between Emmay and
JA Entertainment. We will work night and
day to make a special film. Bhushan Kumar
and our studio partner, T-Series
understands our vision and I am hoping
this partnership is the beginning to many
more.
Nikkhil Advani, Emmay Entertainment, says,
"Given his penchant for excelling in films of
this genre, John was absolutely the right
choice to play Yadav, an unassuming man
of few words and a long list of
extraordinary achievements. The film which
is a fictional account inspired by the real-life
encounter will not be from one man's
perspective only but will be seen from three
perspectives that of the police, those
present near the location, and the real
picture. I am glad Bhushanji and I are
working together again for Batla House and
it is so heartening to find a studio which is
open to different genres and content-
driven cinema.
Bhushan Kumar, T-Series, says, "Nikkhil and
I have been working together since many
years and when I heard that he is making
Batla House, I decided to join hands with
him. After working with John in Satyameva
Jayate, I know Nikkhil has chosen the right
role for him. Even though the film speaks of
an incident that happened years ago,
Nikkhil will show the story in a different
perspective making the reel story look as
real as possible. We at T-Series are keen to
produce content-driven cinema and Batla
House is one of them.
Inspired by the real encounter that took
place a decade ago on September 19, the
film rolls in September this year. Nikkhil
plans on shooting the film in Delhi, Jaipur,
Lucknow, Mumbai, and Nepal. The film will
be jointly produced by T-Series, Emmay
Entertainment & Motion Pictures LLP and JA
Entertainment in association with Bake My
Cake Films.
