John Mathew Matthan (also John Mathew Mathan/John Mathew) is an Indian filmmaker from the southern state of Kerala. He is known for his 1999 Bollywood film ''Sarfarosh'', starring Aamir Khan and Naseeruddin Shah John started his career as an assistant director on the epic movie ''Gandhi'', directed by Sir Richard Attenborough. Also working on ''Gandhi'' was Govind Nihlani, who Matthan would later assist for several films before shifting to directing advertisements. In the early 1990s, Matthan started his own production company in Mahalaxmi, Mumbai called Cinematt Pictures Pvt Ltd. The company, which also involved Matthan's brother George, released its first feature film entitled ''Sarfarosh'' in 1999. Matthan began work on ''Sarfarosh'' in 1992. Seven years were spent on the research, pre-production, and production of the film until it was finally released to both critical and commercial success. After ''Sarfarosh'', Matthan started working on a script which involved the issue of brain drain. However, after the tragedy of 9/11, the script lost its pertinence and Matthan moved on to another idea that germinated in the form of ''Shikhar'' (2005). Although critically acclaimed, the film did not fare too well at the box office. In 2007, Matthan began work on his next film titled ''A New Love Ishtory''. Written by Vipul K Rawal and starring Himesh Reshammiya and Niharika Singh, the film was completed in 2009 but its release delayed to September 29, 2013 due to a falling out with Reshammiya and his record label T-Series. Matthan has begun work on a new film also written by Rawal that is ready to be shot after ''A New Love Ishtory'' is released. The film is both a political and historical thriller based on the writer's experience in the Indian Navy and true classified events. == Director == * ''Sarfarosh'' (1999) * ''Shikhar'' (2005) * ''A New Love Ishtory'' (2013) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Matthew Matthan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
