John Abraham has acted in internationally acclaimed photographer and screenwriter Sooni Taraporevala’s debut film, Little Zizou. Close friend and long time associate of Mira Nair, Sooni has completed the film and is now working out the release date.
John plays Arjun, a Parsi boy in the film.Though Sooni confirmed that she had shot the film with John, she was reluctant to give more details. She said, “It is an ensemble cast but I don’t want to reveal much about the character that John is playing as I want it to be a surprise. All I can say is that although his role is not long, it is a pivotal role.”
Priti Shahani of Indian Films echoed Sooni’s sentiments and said, “When Sooni narrated the script to us, the only actor we could visualise was John Abraham. He is supposed to be the surprise element in the film.”
Talking about the film and her experience with John, Sooni said, “The film has a backdrop of football but John’s character does not have anything to do with the sport. We shot with him in Lower Parel and at Bandstand recently. You should have seen the frenzy and the crowd around him. I was really worried but he was so cool with his fans. He is very down-to-earth and professional.I just told him that I wanted him for that role in my film and he immediately agreed, without any fuss. I would love to work with him again in my future films.”The film also stars Boman Irani, Immaduddin Shah, Cyrus Broacha and Kurush Deboo. Well Johnny, you sure won’t get lost in the crowd here.
