Srinagar, December 8: Bollywood superstar John Abraham arrived in Kashmir on Friday for the shooting of his upcoming film ‘Vedaa’.
After the overwhelming success of his last film Pathaan, John Abraham has teamed up with Sharvari Wagh for Nikkhil Advani’s upcoming film Vedaa.
Sharvari is known for her role in ‘Bunty Aur Babli 2’.
Apart from the two stars, the film also features Abhishek Banerjee.
Sources said the actor reached Kashmir on Friday and will be accompanied by other crew members.
“John Abraham arrived in Kashmir on Friday for the shooting of his upcoming film Vedaa. It is a four-day schedule for the film crew to shoot in Kashmir,” said sources familiar with the schedule.
They said that during the four-day schedule, the shooting would take place in Srinagar and Pahalgam.
Directed by Nikkhil Advani and written by Aseem Arora, Vedaa is produced by Zee Studios, Emmay Entertainment and JA Entertainment.
This would be the second time John would be seen working with Nikkhil after Batla House.
Vedaa is written by Aseem Arora and is expected to release next year in 2024.
In the film, John is asked to take on the role of a mentor who would guide and train Sharvari’s character.
Notably, many Bollywood producers in the recent past have returned to Kashmir for shooting, continuing with the age-old love for Kashmir and Bollywood.
In the last one year, J&K had over 200 shoots, which included films, web series and drama.
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan shot for his film this year in Kashmir as well.
The government is implementing a film policy to make conditions suitable for film crews.
The government has introduced single-window approvals for shooting in Jammu and Kashmir.
Known for its breathtaking scenic beauty, Kashmir has a long history of cinematography, with Indian producers often shooting multiple films simultaneously until the 1990s.
An official said that J&K is providing the best locations for shooting the film and since the LG management has taken an initiative and come up with a new film policy, many incentives are being given and a single window system is being provided.
