/> John Abraham's career as an actor-producer has just taken a steep climb. After playing the plain-clothed action cop in Nishikant Kamath's Force John is all set to get into a full-on action mode in a buddy-buddy Mumbai cop film called Kala Ghoda where the action would take John many notches higher and on far more dangerous ground than Force.

The story would be set during one night when any and everything that could go wrong in Mumbai's underbelly, does go wrong. The action, we are told, would not be staged. It would be real action with real punches and bullets.

The film that goes on the floors at the end of the year will be shot in real time and on actual locations.It would involve situations that come straight out of the record books of real-life police stations.

Speaking on the project director Aditya Bhattacharya whose Raakh 33 years ago was a game-changer that launched Aamir Khan's career as a leading man, says, "It's the story of two cops, one hard-nosed no-nonsense and volatile played by John and the other a goofy ineffectual bumbling cop, played by Kunaal Roy Kapoor (of Delhi Belly fame) who come together under trying circumstances for one night of relentless action in Mumbai."

Aditya who is the legendary Bimal Roy's grandson and the avant-garde director Basu Bhattacharya's son, was reluctant to get into the project.

Says Aditya, "Kala Ghoda is a authentic cops film. And my catchline for the film would be ‘No Gun No Fun'. I was a bit hesitant. It was John's exuberance and energy level that convinced me. His homework for the role is incredible.

I come from a sensibility different from the archetypal ‘Bollywood' cinema.I felt John and I coming together to do a film would be as odd as John and Kunal Roy Kapoor's characters in Kala Ghoda coming together.

But John's dedication to the film has convinced me that ‘Bollyood' no longer exists. It is a state of mind where the walls have dissolved and a misfit like me has a place here."

Kala Ghoda would be shot in one schedule of 20-25 days with no songs, no item songs, no breaks for popcorn and the loo.

John who will produce the film has conceived it as a low-budget gritty independent film meant for a specific target-audience

John in fact has been secretly preparing for the role alongside his role of the real-life gangster in Sanjay Gupta's Shootout At Wadala.
