WWE star wrestler turned actor John Cena and Dwayne Johnson have recently teamed up for the upcoming film "The Janson Directive". John Cena (41) will be the star of the film whereas Johnson and Dany Garcia are officially producing it through their Seven Bucks Productions.

Taking Instagram as a platform, Johnson shared the news of Cena's casting in the film and he also congratulated him.

In his post he wrote, "Congrats man and I'm excited to go on this journey with you. Thank you for your commitment to the role and remember, as your producer if you screw up, I'm coming to set and dropping the People's Elbow on you. And you know first hand how devastating my elbow drops can be. Congrats my friend and let's go make a good one,"

Earlier, Johnson was set to star in the action-thriller. But due to his busy schedule, he decided it was the best move along as a producer.

According to the reports from Zee News, based on the top-rated novel by "Jason Bourne" creator Robert Ludlum, the film follows Paul Janson (Cena), a previous Navy SEAL who now works in as a corporate security consultant. Janson becomes a target himself when a safeguard task turns out badly. James Vanderbilt is adjusting Ludlum's novel for the big screen from a story he co-penned with Akiva Goldsman.

Producers on project include Ben Smith and Jeffrey Weiner of Captivate Entertainment; Hiram Garcia of Seven Bucks Productions; Vanderbilt; Brad Fischer and William Sherak of Mythology; and Goldsman of Weed Road Pictures.
