Bollywood actor John Abraham, whose last release Satyameva Jayate performed well at the box office unveiled the first look of his next film Batla House. The flick will hit the screens on 2019 Independence Day locking horns with Brahmastra and Made In China.
Batla House is based on a real incident of a shootout that took place in 2008 in Delhi. John posted the film's poster on Twitter and wrote: "Every story has two points of view. One wrong. The other right. But what if the lines are blurred? Very very blurred!"
