John
Abraham
will
be
playing
the
lead
in
Deepa
Mehta"s
Beeba
Boyz.
He
has
been
cast
opposite
popular
Ukrainian
actress
Milla
Jovovich.
The
film
is
about
Punjabi
gangsters
and
will
start
rolling
in
April
2010.
Milla
had,
apparently,
expressed
her
desire
to
work
with
John.
That"s
when
Deepa
decided
to
cast
him.
Though
John
has
date
issues,
Deepa
decided
to
wait
for
him
and
until
then
finish
work
on
Midnight"s
Children.
Meanwhile,
John
will
be
using
this
time
to
prepare
for
his
role
as
a
Punjabi
gangster.
Deepa
has
full
faith
that
he
will
be
able
to
do
it
perfectly,
just
like
he
picked
up
Sankritized
Hindi
for
Water.
John
has
confirmed
the
news.
