John Abraham and director Abhishek Sharma collaborated on the historical action drama Parmanu in 2018, which told the tale of India acquiring nuclear weapons. Along with Madras Café, it is among John's most well-liked movies from the previous ten years. Since then, there have been rumours of John and Abhishek getting back together. Sharma disclosed the title of his subsequent collaboration with John, Parlok, in an interview.
“It’s a science fiction film – a very different genre and in a new space. We have been waiting for the right time to make the film. It’s a fantastic story we both want to tell. If you see, I have never worked on one genre consistently, and likewise, this is going to be a new world for me to explore as a director. As an industry, we are now seeing films which are heavy on visual effects and now, it would be our turn to try something new”, he shared.
When asked about his intentions to start shooting the movie, Abhishek responds, “Everything needs to fall in place. I always wanted Parlok to be my next after Zoya Factor, but then, I made Ram Setu with Akshay sir, as I felt this was the right time to inform the world about the existence of Ram Setu. At this point of time, John and I are working on it together. We will take it on floors once we are ready with all our resources.” Abhishek says that John and he are talking about a few other topics in addition to Parlok.
“This isn’t the only film that John and I are talking about. There are many other subjects and things will fall into place organically for every film. We don’t know which one will happen before and which after. Let’s see how fast things happen. The good part is, John will be producing the film as well as acting in it and I am the writer and director,” he adds with a smile.
