John Abraham starrer Batla House might not have done great business as its rival film Mission Mangal, but it has been able to stay afloat despite the tough competition. The film is expected to enjoy a steady run until the next big release, Sujeeth’s action-thriller Saaho starring Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor, arrives in theatres and gives it stiff competition.
Batla House is a gritty drama which tells the story of the controversial Batla House shootout in September 2008, between the Delhi Police and five suspected terrorists. John plays Sanjay Kumar, a decorated police officer modelled on DCP Sanjeev Kumar Yadav of the Delhi Police’s special cell.
