Bollywood
hunk
John
Abraham
is
all
set
to
woo
the
audience
with
his
upcoming
film
Madras
Cafe.
Madras
Cafe
is
said
to
have
based
on
true
events
about
a
covert
operation
conducted
in
Sri
Lanka
in
the
late
1990s.
The
actor
at
the
promotions
of
Madras
Cafe
talked
about
the
allegation
that
some
organisations
have
made
on
the
movie.
John
was
asked
by
the
reporters
at
the
promotional
event
that
what
he
has
to
say
about
Sri
Lankan
president
Mahinda
Rajapaksa,
who
is
said
to
have
secretly
invested
in
Madras
Cafe.
The
actor
said,
" It's
not
true
that
Rajapaksa
secretly
financed
my
film.
Viacom
18
Motion
Pictures
is
the
producer
of
my
film.
They
would
feel
bad
about
these
rumours
and
therefore
Im
clarifying
again
that
it
has
not
been
secretly
financed
by
anyone
other
than
my
producers."
Some
people
had
said
that
John
Abraham's
Madras
Cafe
shows
the
Liberation
Tigers
of
Tamil
Eelam
in
a
bad
light.
Clarifying
on
this,
John
Abraham
said,
"We
have
not
called
anyone
'terrorists' in
the
film.
We
haven't
taken
sides...
This
film
doesn't
take
any
sides.
We
probably
will
show
them
(those
opposing)
the
film.
Madras
Cafe
is
directed
by
Shoojit
Sircar.
John
Abraham
is
playing
the
role
of
an
Indian
intelligence
agent
in
the
film.
While
Nargis
Fakhri,
who
is
the
female
lead,
plays
an
international
reporter.
