Titled ‘Jaffna’, the flick will be directed by Shoojit Sircar and at the same time, John will himself co-produce the film. Jaffna or the City of Jaffna happens to be the capital city of the Northern Province of Sri Lanka. Interestingly, ‘Vicky Donor’, an upcoming film that apparently deals with the concept of sperm donation and infertility, too has been directed by Sircar and produced by John. Jaffna will be the duo’s second movie together.

If the buzz is to be believed then John is likely to visit Sri Lanka in order to understand the sensitive subject properly. Shoojit’s debut film ‘Yahaan’ too was a love story set against the backdrop of the insurgence in Kashmir. Though the film which featured Jimmy Shergill, Minissha Lamba and Yashpal Sharma failed to do big business, but it was appreciated by critics for being warm and sensitive. Reportedly, John will be seen promoting Vicky Donor shortly before its release. He is likely to talk about the issue of sperm donation as a part of the promotion campaign.
