    Banana takes John to school

    MUMBAI: Critics may have panned him many times for his acting. But now that John Abraham has donned the producer’s hat, it seems he doesn’t want to give any chance to his critics to raise a finger at him. For his new production, Banana – a teenage film, he seems all involved and geared up.

     

    Today morning, the actor turned producer posted a picture on Twitter from Jamshedpur where the film is being shot. “At Loyola high school, Jamshedpur. Our next production Banana,” he posted on the microblogging site.

     

    The film revolves around a young boy who tries to deal with the experiences of life. The film is being directed by Sajid Ali, director Imtiaz Ali’s younger brother.

     

    John believes that the film will appeal to all age groups. In an interview he had said, “Just like people did not expect anything from Vicky Donor, I guarantee people may not expect anything from Banana, but I am sure it will bring back a lot of memories when you watch it.”
