It’s a known fact that Bollywood superstar John Abraham is currently gearing up to live the real life of yesteryear gangster Manya Surve on reel screen in his forthcoming film "Shootout at Wadala". Citing the fact that the lead role is that of an antagonist, John has started his preparations in full swing. After the reports of him molding his body according to requirements of the script, we hear that he is also undergoing Marathi tuitions in order to perfect his linguistic skills. Manya Surve spoke lot of Marathi in his daily life and hence it requires John to get his hands on the language to exemplify the role perfectly.

Director Sanjay Gupta confirmed this piece of news and even revealed that his friend Mahesh Manjrekar will help John learn the language. "Mahesh is going to meet John a few times so that they can exchange the nitty-gritty of Marathi", confirmed Sanjay. He further exclaimed that Mahesh will also be a part of his ambitious film, “I have asked Mahesh to choose a role for himself. Mahesh and I go back a long way, from "Kaante" to "Dus Kahaniyaan". So, I want the association to continue with "Shootout at Wadala" too. Plus, he is a superb actor. So, he will also be a part of the film for sure” added Gupta.

Last but not the least he confirmed that the film will go on floors on 1st, March 2012.
