John in Deepa Mehta's Luna

It is a fact that John Abraham's last few films have failed badly at the box-office, with Anurag Kashyap's No Smoking being one of the biggest disasters of the year. However, the encouraging 11-crore (approx.) opening week total of his latest, Goal, must have surely gladdened his heart, especially in view of the reasonable selling prices.

John is equally happy about his role in Deepa Mehta's next project, Luna. The film tells the story of American activist, Julia Hill, who lived barefoot on a tree to prevent loggers from cutting it. Apparently John plays the activist who gets her food, romances her and more importantly teaches her how to climb trees.

Sounds like another interesting project after the team's last venture, Water.
