Directed by Robbie Grewal, Romeo Akbar Walter is an espionage thriller that chronicles the story of a spy who goes to Pakistan. "It's very important to make films with good stories. If tomorrow, there's a great patriotic film, I would love to do it. But I would not like to do jingoistic films. I am not anti any other country, I am not anti any other religion. I'm very pro-secular and I would like to make films that reflect the true nature of this country," John told reporters.

The actor said the film looks at people from an objective gaze and doesn't colour anyone with judgements. "It's a very objective film. No one is bad or good in this, it's just how you look at things. We are not depicting any other side as the bad side. It's a story of a spy who goes across, but it's a different story than Raazi or many of the other stories.
