As
the
tag
line
says
'The
story
of
India's
Most
Decorated/Controversial
Cop',
the
case
was
about
this
one
man
who
has
had
70
encounters,
a
record
22
convictions
from
30
cases
and
9
Gallantry
Awards.
John
Abraham
says
"Being
recognized
for
films
like
Madras
Cafe
and
Parmanu,
I
automatically
gravitate
towards
scripts
like
Batla
House,
however,
that
also
means
that
the
script
needs
to
live
upto
those
standards.
With
Batla
House,
Ritesh
blew
me
over
with
his
precision
in
the
story
telling
as
well
as
the
emotional
roller
coaster
of
the
characters.
I
am
truly
excited
to
bring
this
story
alive
to
audiences"
The
film
that
goes
on
floors
by
mid-October,
is
inspired
by
the
real
encounter
that
took
place
a
decade
ago
on
September
19.
Nikkhil
plans
on
shooting
the
film
in
Delhi,
Jaipur,
Lucknow,
Mumbai
and
Nepal.
Speaking
about
it,
Nikkhil
adds,
"Ritesh,
who
I
have
had
the
wonderful
fortune
of
collaborating
with
on
my
life-changing
films,
D-Day
and
Airlift,
came
to
me
with
this
incredible
story
and
he
has
spent
a
painstaking
4yrs
researching,
writing
and
has
fashioned
a
top
notch
script.
I'm
so
happy
that
John
also
recognized
the
power
of
this
story
and
agreed
to
come
aboard.
Now
all
I
have
to
do
is
call
action/cut".
Bhushan
Kumar
says,
"Nikkhil
is
presenting
one
such
incident
to
the
audience
that
needs
to
be
heard.
The
posters
will
give
our
viewers
a
brief
idea
on
what
the
film
is
and
seeing
John
like
this,
everyone
is
definitely
intrigued."
