According to a report by peepingmoon.com, Rohit Shetty’s next film will star actor John Abraham. It will also be a cop film, but instead of being fictional, it will be based on reality. Rohit will work with John Abraham on a biopic of Mumbai’s former Police Commissioner, Rakesh Maria. It is reported that Rohit Shetty will begin shooting for this film with John in March.
