Mumbai's bustling railway stations witnessed an unusual sight recently when Bollywood action star John Abraham transformed into a police officer for his upcoming film. The actor was spotted at Mumbai Central station, dressed in full police uniform, shooting for the much-anticipated biopic on former Mumbai Police Commissioner Rakesh Maria.
Real-Life Movie Moment for Commuters
While waiting for their regular trains, commuters at Mumbai Central got an unexpected surprise when they spotted John Abraham in police attire on the platform. What initially seemed like a scene straight out of a Bollywood movie turned out to be an actual film shoot, leaving lucky witnesses thrilled.
One alert bystander captured the moment on camera, and the video quickly went viral across social media platforms. The footage shows John standing quietly on the platform, completely immersed in his character, while excited travelers on the opposite side watch with visible excitement.
The Making of a Police Biopic
This marks John Abraham's first collaboration with director Rohit Shetty, with shooting reportedly beginning in July this year. The film is a biographical drama based on the life and career of former Mumbai Police Commissioner Rakesh Maria, who handled several high-profile cases during his distinguished service.
The production team has been meticulously capturing scenes across South Mumbai to maintain authenticity and reflect the true essence of the city. This approach of filming at real locations rather than studio sets gives the movie a realistic edge that audiences can connect with.
Massive Scale Production
According to reports from Mid Day, the production later moved to Mira Road where a detailed police station set was constructed at Ellora Studios. The scale of the project is substantial, with daily shoot operations involving between 50 to 100 crew members, highlighting the ambitious nature of this biopic.
The viral video and subsequent buzz have generated significant excitement among fans, who are eagerly awaiting to see John Abraham portray one of Mumbai's most respected police officers on the big screen.
