Jacqueline Fernandez has signed up for John Abraham's next film.
The untitled project has been held back by producers Studio 18 because of the recession, but Abraham is reportedly keen to start developing it with fresh funds.
A source revealed to Bollywood Hungama: ''John has seen some rushes and promos of Jacqueline's debut film Aladin and really liked her.
"They both work out in the same gym and also have known each other for quite some time.
"Now that Studio 18 has backed out from the project, John is considering producing the movie along with Sabal and has finalised on the model-turned-actress.''
Speaking about Fernandez's role, the insider added: "'The movie is a drama thriller and required a glamorous chick."
The Malaysian-Sri Lankan actress won Miss Universe 2006 before entering the film industry.
