He walked away with the hall of fame in Deepa Mehta’s Water and now Deepa is keen to repeat John in her coming films. John is already in Deepa’s ‘Exclusion’ with Amitabh Bachchan which will be shot later this year. Apart from this dream project of Deepa Mehta, she wants John to take an important role in her ambitious project ‘Luna’ which she announced at Cannes. Luna is based on a real life story of an American activist and environmentalist Julia Butterfly Hill, who protested against the felling of trees in the Red Wood forests in the US by climbing a 180 foot Redwood tree. The lady climbed down only after 738 days- from 1997 to 1999. The tree was named Luna. The protest had a huge impact and a resolution was formed in 1999 to protect all trees in the 3 acre buffer zone of the Redwood forest. All that remains to announce is the lady who will play Julia. If luck really shines well on John he’ll get a creative co-star and not someone like Liza Ray. Let’s keep an eye on this film.
