John Abraham has been reportedly gearing up to star in Force 3, with Bhav Dhulia as the director and Meenakshi Chaudhary as the leading lady. Filming is expected to begin in late 2025. Throughout his career, he has delivered several memorable performances in action films, including the powerful roles in Batla House, Satyameva Jayate, and Rocky Handsome. However, the actor has not stepped into any mythological script yet. Reportedly, in addition to reviving the Force franchise, John Abraham is also in advanced discussions to collaborate with Arun Gopalan, the director of his recently released movie Tehran, for a modern-day adaptation of the Mahabharata.

John Abraham, who will be seen reprising his role of ACP Yashvardhan Singh, can portray a prominent figure from the Mahabharata saga. According to a report in Pinkvilla, a source claimed, “John Abraham has been discussing a film set against the backdrop of Mahabharata but in the modern era. Director Arun Gopalan (Tehran Fame) has developed a script of Mahabharata in the modern era, and John is bowled over by the screenplay and vision that Arun has to adapt the greatest story of all time in modern times.”
