John Abraham To Play Superhero In 'Parmanu' Director's Big Budget Film 'Munkeeman'
After the success of the 2018 film Parmanu, John Abraham is all set to reunite with director Abhishek Sharma for a big budget superhero action entertainer titled Munkeeman.
Sharing the details about the same, a source told Bollywood Hungama, “John and all the stakeholders of this project are extremely excited for it as nothing of this sort has been seen in Indian cinema before. It is mounted as an ambitious big budget film meant for a grand theatrical experience, backed by producer Mahaveer Jain.”
The source further added, “The film is currently under the wraps and is set to go on floors early next year.”
Even though not much is known about the film, it is based on a 2012 book of the same name which was authored by Abhishek Sharma himself.
The synopsis of the book reads, “In the summer of 2001 a strange creature created panic and chaos in the city of Delhi. No one had an explanation or clue about his true identity. Then suddenly one day he vanished, never to return until today Munkeeman is back. And he wants you to know that he is not a monster, but India’s own authentic superhero.”

The actor’s next release is Tehraan produced by Maddock Films. It will be followed by Rohit Shetty’s Rakesh Maria biopic.
There are also talks of John reviving the Ayyappanum Koshiyum remake. And besides Munkeeman, Abhishek Sharma is also developing a script for Garam Masala 2 with both John and Akshay Kumar.
