‘Batla House’ a bigger human story, beyond encounter saga: John

TIL Desk Bollywood/ Bollywood actor John Abraham, who is excited about his upcoming “Batla House”, says the script of the film explores a much bigger human story, which goes beyond just the controversial police encounter that took place in real life.

The Nikkhil Advani directorial casts John as DCP Sanjeev Kumar Yadav, who headed the Batla House encounter that took place in New Delhi’s Jamia Nagar in 2008.

“To me, ‘Batla House’ is not just a film about the most controversial encounter in recent times, an incident that got twisted and turned to suit different political agendas. It is a much bigger human story of DCP Sanjeev Kumar Yadav, who went through excruciating personal turmoil in the line of duty,” John said.
