Hollywood star John Travolta is set to star in 'The Forger', a crime thriller directed by Philip Martin.
The 59-year-old 'Savages' actor will take on the lead role in the film, reported Radar online.

Travolta has most recently worked with Robert De Niro and Milo Ventimiglia on 'Killing Season', but the film is still awaiting a release date. Production on 'The Forgers' is scheduled to begin later this year.
