Bollywood hunk John Abraham will make a five-minute guest appearance in his close friend John Mathew Matthan's upcoming venture "Shikhar". The actor will play himself in the film.

Says Matthan of "Sarfarosh" fame: "It is true that I have signed John for a special guest appearance in my film. John plays himself in the film and will be seen in the film for a few minutes."

Matthan is looking forward to working with John in more projects in the future. "I'd love to work with him whenever the opportunity arises," he says.

He is also quite enthused with the response to the film's music, despite the low-key music release.

"The response has been extraordinary so far. I am told that the music cassettes were sold out from the music shops even before we got to know of it. It is incredible considering that we did not even announce the music release of the film."

"We quietly released it in the market and the cassettes are selling like hot cakes. It indicates the pre-release curiosity and the success of the film's promos," he reveals, adding that the film has an unusual musical score.

Incidentally, the music of "Shikhar" has been composed by a first-time director P. Sameer and Mani Shankar, with Viju Shah treating the music of the film. "It is a new concept in music composition and the musical score itself is a totally novel one," he adds.
