Bollywood
Actor-producer
John
Abraham
feels
all
Rs
100
crore
club
films
are
not
great.
After
the
critical
and
commercial
success
of
Vicky
Donor,
the
actor's
production
house
John
Abraham
Entertainment
and
Rising
Sun
Films
have
teamed
up
once
again
for
Madras
Cafe.
The
movie
is
a
spy
thriller
and
the
story
is
based
on
the
political
relations
between
India
and
Sri
Lanka.
It
is
set
to
release
on
August
23.
"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," said
John
on
July
11
at
the
trailer
launch
of
Madras
Cafe.
There
are
two
other
big
release
in
the
month
of
August.
Chennai
Express
on
August
8
and
Once
Upon
A
Time
in
Mumbaai
Dobara
on
August
15.
"Holidays
do
get
you
a
good
opening
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
the
content,
quality
of
the
film
will
speak.
We
are
confident
about
our
film
and
its
release
date.
We
wanted
a
clear
open
window
and
we
have
got
that.
It
is
a
clutter
breaker
film,
it
is
a
very
special
project...
we
have
spent
six-seven
years
on
it,"
John
explained.
The
Madras
Cafe
team
has
worked
hard
for
this
movie
and
spent
a
lot
of
time
to
make
the
content
strong.
"We
want
to
make
entertaining
films
with
strong
content.
We
want
to
make
quality
films,"
he
added.
There
were
reports
that
the
film
has
a
reference
to
Prime
Minister
Rajiv
Gandhi's
assassination
and
also
deals
with
the
LTTE's
activities
in
Sri
Lanka.
"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,"
director
Shoojit
Sircar
said.
