Thanks to the recession, John Abraham's film, which was to be directed by Sabal Shekhawat and produced by Indian Films (Studio 18), has come to a halt. Studio 18 has backed out of the film, giving recession as the reason for doing so.

While the film hasn't been shelved because both John and Sabal are very keen on doing it, though they are not sure when the movie will start filming. Studio 18 felt that the budget of the film was too high for recessionary times and that they should bring it down.

But Sabal wasn't ready to do so. John too, is supporting Sabal (Sabal is the director who gave John his first modeling break). They have even decided on Turkey as their location for the shoot and a new producer is keen on doing the film.
