In
order
to
ensure
that
his
upcoming
films
have
a
good
run
at
the
Box
Office,
actor
turned
producer
John
Abraham
has
decided
to
take
a
call
on
the
release
dates
of
his
projects.
The
actor's
home
production
Vicky
Donor
was
a
huge
hit,
which
seems
to
have
given
John
a
fair
idea
about
the
right
time
for
release
of
movies.
The
film
was
released
on
April
20
last
year
and
there
were
no
other
big
releases
at
that
time.
"I
am
going
to
dictate
my
release
dates
to
a
large
extent.
I
will
take
the
studio
in
confidence
as
they
need
to
understand
my
point
of
view.
I
decided
the
release
date
of
Vicky
Donor.
I
knew
what
I
was
doing...
so
let
me
do
it," John
told
PTI.
"I
will
be
absolutely
cautious
about
the
release
dates
of
my
films,"
he
said.
John's
next
release
will
be
Shootout
at
Wadala
where
he
essays
the
role
of
gangster
Manya
Surve.
The
film
will
hit
cinema
houses
on
May
1,
which
happens
to
be
the
International
Worker's
Day.
John's
other
release
this
year
will
be
his
home
production
Madras
Cafe,
directed
by
Shoojit
Sircar.
A
political
thriller,
the
film
will
see
John
play
an
intelligence
agent
and
Nargis
Fakhri
as
a
journalist.
Shootout
at
Wadala
releases
on
May
1.
It
is
the
Labour
Day,
and
on
August
30
we
release
Madras
Cafe
-
a
solo
release,
no
one
is
releasing
a
film
that
day.
It
is
a
clear
two
week
run.
It's
a
crucial
date
for
us.
Everyone
will
understand
as
we
come
closer
to
the
release
date.
It
is
going
to
be
an
amazing
release," he
said.
John,
however,
seems
unhappy
with
the
response
garnered
by
his
latest
release
I
Me
Aur
Main
at
the
Box
Office.
The
film,
a
romantic-comedy
starring
John,
Chitrangada
Singh
and
Prachi
Desai
in
the
lead,
was
directed
by
debutante
Kapil
Sharma.
Produced
by
Goldie
Behl
and
Shrishti
Behl
Arya,
the
film
was
released
on
March
1.
"I
feel
very
little
was
done
too
late.
It
had
a
niche
audience.
I
had
due
respect
for
the
film
and
I
did
as
much
as
I
could
with
all
honesty.
I
would
never
desert
a
film.
I
don't
know
about
other
actors...
for
me
my
credibility
is
important
than
my
career.
At
the
end
of
the
day
I
have
to
be
known
as
a
human
being," the
actor
said.
"I
still
feel
it
is
a
beautiful,
sweet
film.
I
think
Kapil
Sharma
is
a
very
talented
director,"
he
added.
