John Abraham is the latest B-Town star to venture into the digital world. The actor-producer has signed a three web series deal with digital entertainment channel, Amazon Prime.

A source says, "The producer in him decided to make this move. John understands that the market is drastically changing and wanted JA Entertainment to do path-breaking work on the platform. While he will continue producing films, his team will work on three web series for Amazon."

Speculations are also rife that he may team up with long-time associate Shoojit Sircar, with whom the actor has previously collaborated for 'Vicky Donor' (2012) and 'Madras Cafe' (2013). "John will brainstorm with Shoojit. If he has time, he will hop aboard in some capacity. John is also close to Nishikant Kamat and will discuss the projects with him. Creative decisions will only be taken after the stories are finalised," the source adds.

Sircar's upcoming John and Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer, '1911', which chronicles a century-old story of Kolkata-based football club Mohun Bagan's historic win against an English football team in 1911, may also be converted into a web series.

Last week, following his meeting with Amazon Prime honcho, Roy Price, John had tweeted: "Looking forward to a big partnership ahead."
