A source close to John says, &ldquo;After delivering two successful films under his banner, John is now looking forward to do a realistic character. He has already registered three titles -- JRD Tata, Jamshed Ji and Tata Sons -- under his production house thus giving rise to speculations of him being interested in the biopic on the famous business tycoon.&rdquo;
John has not been part of any biopic so far and has expressed his desire to do one in the past. &ldquo;Like JRD, who was half-Parsi, John too is a half-Parsi from his mother&rsquo;s side. And he&rsquo;s quite familiar with the Parsi lifestyle. So, obviously, he won&rsquo;t have to dwell much on research. Having said, he&rsquo;ll have to complete all formalities before going ahead with the script,&rdquo; adds the insider.
If the project goes ahead, Shoojit Sircar may direct the film. However, the Vicky Donor director says, &ldquo;As of now, nothing is final. It is not yet confirmed.&rdquo;
JRD Tata? Jehangir Ratanji Dadabhoy Tata, had spent most of his early life in France as his mother was French. After serving in the French army, he moved to Bombay.
