John Abraham to star in political thriller JaffnaJohn Abraham seems to be taking his career too seriously now. After bagging roles in some highly anticipated films, the actor will now be seen a political thriller that is based on LTTE's activities in Sri Lanka. Directed by Shoojit Sircar, the film titled ‘Jaffna’ will also see John Abraham as one of the producers.

Talking to a news agency, Sircar said, "John is a politically aware actor. He reads the newspaper every morning, knows what's going on in the world. He is clued in to the dynamics of the separatist strife in Sri Lanka. The minute I told him about my film 'Jaffna', he was on board.”

Sircar, whose first film ‘Yahaan’ was about Kashmir separatism, will now dabble with the subject of LTTE and its activities in the troubled violence-ridden city of Jaffna in his upcoming film. Moreover, the director confirmed that John would visit Sri Lanka go get a hang of the political situation in the country. Sircar is currently wrapping the shooting of Vicky Donor, which is a satire on sperm donation, with Veejay Ayushmaan Khurana in the lead role.
