"John Abraham has signed up to a political thriller about Tamil tigers in Sri Lanka. The actor was last seen playing an Oxford graduate-turned-male-stripper in the comedy action film Desi Boyz. Director Shoojit Sircar told Hindustan Times: &amp;quot;John is a politically aware actor. He reads the newspaper every morning, knows what&amp;#039;s going on in the world.  &amp;quot;He is clued in to the dynamics of the separatist strife in Sri Lanka. The minute I told him about my film Jaffna, he was on board.&amp;quot; Abraham has previously collaborated with Sircar to produce the director&amp;#039;s earlier comedy film Vicky Donor. Sircar added: &amp;quot;John believes in Jaffna, as much as he believes in Vicky Donor. That&amp;#039;s why he stepped in to produce both the projects. He saw the full film Vicky Donor and was completely kicked by it.&amp;quot; In December, Abraham said that he prides himself on his physique and likes being viewed as an action hero. The star has recently said that actors do not have to have a fancy lifestyle to impress the public. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
