John Abraham-Rohit Shetty to start Rakesh Maria Biopic:

John Abraham and Bollywood director Rohit Shetty are teaming up for the first time. The dynamic duo will collaborate on a biopic of Mumbai Police Commissioner Rakesh Maria. It’s going to be an exciting project since it’s a new zone for the Singham maker, while Abraham has ample experience with biopics on government officers.

A report in Dainik Bhaskar has already confirmed that the film will start rolling on April 18, 2025. Now the latest report in Mid-Day reveals that Rohit has planned a four-month schedule for this action drama, starting from April 18th in Trombay, Mumbai. Additionally, the budget of the movie is said to be over Rs. 100 crore.  

“Rohit always wanted to make a cop film rooted in truth. Rakesh Maria’s life reads like a thriller; it’s intense and has many high points, from his investigation of the 1993 Bombay blasts and the 26/11 attacks to his brush with the underworld. Maria and Shetty have been in talks for a while, and it’s finally starting now. With the autobiography serving as the blueprint, the film will trace the story of a Bandra boy becoming a cop, his relationship with Mumbai, and how he played a crucial role in protecting the city that faced many attacks,” a source told the portal.

About 150 crew members will be on set, including action coordinators, prosthetics experts, and a research team on standby. A set depicting the Maharashtra ATS headquarters will also be erected.”
