John Abraham speaks out on his ‘special child’ Madras Cafe, 100 crore club films

A new journey starts for Bollywood hunk John Abraham as he launches the first look of his upcoming production venture Madras Cafe. As a producer he is presently busy with this film and feels quite confident about the project.

The Race 2 and Shootout at Wadala star told reporters while launching the film’s trailer, "Besides action, I am also doing comedy. Now I will be seen in 'Welcome Back' and 'Dostana 2' once Karan makes an announcement. I am doing all kinds of movies.” He also said, "Holidays help you to get special opening, but after that it is the quality of the film that takes you ahead. I am very confident about 'Madras Cafe'. This is a very special child. We have spent around six years on the script.” After the huge commercial success of his last production venture Vicky Donor, Madras Cafe will see the reunion of JA Entertainment and Rising Sun Films once again.

John said about his upcoming film, "This is a serious film. We believe in making quality films. I don't know how much crores the film would make. I feel all Rs 100 crore films are not the greatest movies.” Based on the political relations between India and Sri Lanka, the film was said to have references toPrime Minister Rajiv Gandhi's assassination and LTTE's activities in Sri Lanka. But director Shoojit Sircar cleared the air, "The film has no such depictions. The backdrop of the film is India-Sri Lanka and after that the entire story is fictional. It is a realistic film. I'm satisfied with the final cut.” Madras Cafe also stars John along with Nargis FakhriandAyushmann Khurrana. It is due to release on August 23, locking horns with other big August releases like Chennai Express, Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai Dobara and Satyagraha.
