John Abraham turns cop in Kala Ghoda

After "Force", there's some more action up the sleeves of Bollywood heartthrob John Abraham. The actor has once again signed up to play a cop in director Aditya Bhattacharya's new film Kala Ghoda which will also feature Kunaal Roy Kapoor of "Delhi Belly" fame. 


"Kala Ghoda", set in the Mumbai underbelly, will be shot in real time on actual locations and promises some real action. 


"It's the story of two cops, one hard-nosed no-nonsense and volatile played by John and the other a goofy ineffectual bumbling cop, played by Kunaal Roy Kapoor, who come together under trying circumstances for one night of relentless action in Mumbai," said Aditya, who is Bimal Roy's grandson and director Basu Bhattacharya's son. 


The film goes on the floors at the end of the year and involves situations that come straight out of the record books of real-life police stations. The director admits he was initially reluctant to get into the project. 


"'Kala Ghoda' is a authentic cops film. And my catchline for the film would be 'No Gun No Fun'. I was a bit hesitant. It was John's exuberance and energy level that convinced me," said Aditya Bhattacharya. 


"His homework for the role is incredible. I come from a sensibility different from the archetypal 'Bollywood' cinema. I felt John Abraham and I coming together to do a film would be as odd as John and Kunaal Roy Kapoor's characters in 'Kala Ghoda' coming together. 


"But John's dedication to the film has convinced me that 'Bollywood' no longer exists. It is a state of mind where the walls have dissolved and a misfit like me has a place here," he added. 


John Abraham, who will produce the film, conceives it as a low-budget gritty independent film, meant for a specific target audience.

Housefull 2 Super hit- Abhijeet Bhattacharya accuses Housefull 2 makers of plagiarism

Abhijeet Bhattacharya, the singer who was once hailed as the voice of Shah Rukh Khan has filed a case in the Bombay High Court against T-Series head honcho Bhushan Kumar, music composers Sajid-Wajid and producer Sajid Nadiadwala. He has accused them of lifting a tune from his album Tere Bina that released about a decade ago and using it in one of the songs in the upcoming film Housefull 2 - The Dirty Dozen.

According to Abhijeet, the song Do You Know in Housefull 2, has the same theme melody as his song Baje Jo Bansi Thama Karo. However, the singer stated that he has no intentions of stalling the release of the movie unlike what composer Ram Sampath did before the release of Krazzy 4.

To Mumbai Mirror, Abhijeet said, "This is about the pain and agony. They (music composers Sajid-Wajid) haven't copied the song. They have simply used the lead track of my composition some 30 times in the number. They are such good music directors, they could have simply asked me. I would have readily agreed."

Producer Sajid Nadiadwala, who will miss the premiere of Housefull 2 since he has to be present at court for the hearing was equally outraged by Abhijeet's allegation. "It comes as a big surprise and he has sung so many songs for me. I guess filing court cases have become a common habit before a film's release. We are a part of the same fraternity and this thing could have been sorted out in a more amicable manner. What is the point of spoiling things?""said Nadiadwala.

Abhijeet, on the other hand, believes that things have already been spoilt. "I don't want money or fame. I don't want them to give me credit. Neither do I intend to stop the release of the film. Bahut log copy karte hain. But itni besharmi badh gayi hai. They can simply meet me and apologise. I am fine with that. But these people need to be punished," Abhijeet told Mirror angrily.
