Mrunal to romance John

After movies like Super 30 opposite Hrithik Roshan and recently released Love Sonia, actress Mrunal Thakur will now be seen romancing John Abraham in Batla House. 

The movie is inspired by a real-life incident that took place a decade ago on September 19. While Abraham would be essaying Yadav’s character, the makers have got on board Mrunal to play his wife. Her character Nandita will be modelled on journalist Shobhna Yadav.

Directed by Nikkhil Advani, the movie will go on the floors in Mumbai on October 20, followed by a schedule of 30 days in Lucknow, after which the unit will move to Delhi and Nepal. Talking about her character, Mrunal Thakur shared, “I am very excited to be directed by Nikkhil. I’ve already started prepping up to play a news anchor convincingly, observing their body language and behaviour in person and on news clips. I’ll be meeting a few anchors after I return, and since my uncle is a cop, it’s easier to relate to the story.”
