John Abraham expected to score big at box office with Nikkhil Advani’s Batla House, returns as yet another powerful cop

John Abraham has played a law-abiding officer in many films over the years. Now in his upcoming release Batla House, he is playing a decorated cop no less. The man at the helm of affairs is Nikkhil Advani, who again has a thing or two when it comes to projecting his leading men as true patriots. With the duo joining hands in this Independence Day release, fireworks are expected at the box office.

Both have a good history of making films with a strong patriotic flavor.

Talking about John Abraham first, he is someone who has indeed found a bearing for himself when it comes to enacting some powerful parts for the big screen. Last year was particularly good for him when he was seen in two films belonging to altogether different genres and enacted contrasting characters. In Parmanu - The Story of Pokharan, he played the part of an officer who had to get the nuclear mission right despite all the adversities coming into play. There were no fists or kicks involved and in a solitary action sequence, he was in fact pinned to ground.

On the other hand, he came back all mighty and brawny in Satyameva Jayate where he wasn't exactly following the law but was definitely taking on the law-breakers. As a 'maseeha' of sorts who took it upon himself to get the society rid of evils, he came across as 'the John Abraham' that audiences have seen over the years, and came up trumps. While Parmanu - The Story of Pokharan was a good success, Satyameva Jatyate set a record for the biggest opening ever when it came to an ‘adults only’ film, before Kabir Singh tipped it.
