Directed by Nikkhil Advani, Batla House is inspired by the alleged police encounter operation that took place in Delhi, in the wake of the serial blasts of 2008. John essays DCP Sanjeev Kumar Yadav, who spearheaded the operation. 

"I love people who work for the nation without selfish motives. Stories of such people inspire me and that is why I love doing films on real subjects. Sanjeev Kumar Yadav is one of such person," John said, adding, "To transform into the role and do justice to the film, I met him and spoke to him several times. Beyond the encounter, he also spoke to me of his personal relationship," John added.

Batla House, which also features actors Mrunal Thakur and Ravi Kishan, is scheduled to release on August 15.
