John Abraham says 1911 is a mix of Lagaan and Chak De! India

Bollywood hunk John Abraham is coming up with a new venture titled 1911, which will be a mixture of Lagaan and Chak De! India. The 41-year-old, who is very excited for the flick to go on floor, comments during endorsement of Hockey India League team Delhi, "We are doing a lot of research on the film. It`s a true story. For people, who want to understand what kind of a film it is, it is like `Lagaan` meeting `Chak De! (India)`. I would hope and say that it`s even better."

John earlier made Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal, which was a contemporary fictional story of South Asian community in UK and it depicted the prism of professional football. 1911 is somewhat a continuation of the previous flick as it is also based on football clubs Mohun Bagan and East Bengal. John reveals about his flick, "More than just Mohun Bagan, I like both East Bengal and Mohun Bagan. I think it`s important to share with people that it`s not just on Mohun Bagan, it`s a film on football. It`s a film that I am producing and Shoojit Sircar in directing, it`s called `1911.` It is starting this October.”

The actor’s passion for football can be understood, as he has been a football player before he stepped into acting. Commemorating Lagaan, then it was set in pre-independent India, focusing cricket. On the other hand, Chak De! India centralizes women’s hockey.More updates about the film are yet to be revealed.Abraham is right now busy with two projects Dostana2 and Welcome Back.
