John Abraham teams up with Viacom 18 for new productions

New Delhi: Actor John Abraham has joined hands with Viacom 18 Motion Pictures to co-produce "Jaffna" and "Hamara Bajaj", his next projects as producer. John, 39, made his production debut with director Shoojit Sircar`s directorial "Vicky Donor" this year. The movie was a sleeper hit, and earned rave reviews. Sircar is also directing both "Jaffna" and "Hamara Bajaj". "Vicky Donor" was co-produced by John and Eros Entertainment, but Sircar had expressed his resentment with the production banner for not sending the movie for even consideration when a jury was selecting India`s official entry for the Oscars. If sources are to be believed, John feels Viacom 18 has done justice to both big budget and even smaller budget, concept-based films like "Kahaani", "Gangs Of Wasseypur" and "OMG: Oh My God!", which have done well at the box office.
