Sanjeev Kumar can Shoot me, if I’m Not Good Enough; John Abraham

John Abraham is good to go for another motion picture, which depends on a genuine occurrence of national interest. Batla House, roused by the Operation Batla House that occurred in 2008, highlights him as cop Sanjeev Kumar Yadav. Discussing the duty of play a genuine character he says, "The responsibility is even bigger as this is the first time I am playing someone who is still serving. If he thinks I am not good enough, he can shoot me. So, I better be good at portraying him in the film."

To get into the skin of the character, John invested a great deal of energy with Sanjeev. He shares, "I spent a lot of time with Sanjeev and his wife Shobhna to understand his mindset, body language, the way he sits, stands, talks, reacts to situations and what he went through. I had a million questions for him."

The on-screen character includes, "There were times when I was tempted to take creative liberties, but I refrained from that; I wanted to be true to the character. It was interesting playing him, but it was difficult, too, because it is a strong and conflicting character. A lot has happened in his life post the Batla House incident and to present that on screen was difficult. It's like walking on a double-edged sword and you don't want to tilt either way. So, this is not Nikkhil  or my version of a story that we want people to believe in, but this is what we believe in, factually."
