Batla House director Nikkhil Advani, actress Mrunal Thakur on working with John Abraham in cop thriller

Firstpost  

The last time director Nikkhil Advani held the baton for a film was in 2015 when he directed the now-forgettable Katti Batti, featuring Kangana Ranaut and Imran Khan. A lot of effort has gone into the making of both the films.” Batla House is based on the police encounter that happened in Delhi in 2008, which raised much hue and cry among politicians and media alike. The appeal is still going on and the matter is still being dealt with court.” The film also has actress Mrunal Thakur in a pivotal role. In Super 30, I had played the role of Hrithik’s girlfriend, who is also a Kathak dancer while in Batla House, I play the role of John’s wife, who is a journalist. You don’t always get a solo film in your debut film, and I am glad that this happened.” Was she aware of the Batla House encounter that happened in 2008 in Delhi?
