He is known for his 1999 Bollywood film Sarfarosh, starring Aamir Khan and Naseeruddin Shah Film careerJohn 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.[1] 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).[2] 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 29 September 2013 due to a falling out with Himesh Reshammiya and his record label T-Series.[3] Matthan has begun work on a new film{{which|date=January 2015}} also written by Rawal that is ready to be shot after A New Love Ishtory is released{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}. The film is both a political and historical thriller based on the writer's experience in the Indian Navy and true classified events{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}. Filmography
