&quot;Madras Cafe&quot;, said to be fictional story based on real events that took place during Sri Lankan civil war, is only John&#39;s second production after the highly appreciated &quot;Vicky Donor&quot;. Its vein is much different. <img alt="John Abraham" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/feb/John-Abraham.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 651px;" /> &quot;People say I am a new producer, just one-film old... But I believe somebody should bring something different. Somebody should take a stand and take up a subject like this (&#39;Madras Cafe&#39; and project it. These bullying tactics of groups and parties... I do not accept it,&quot; John said at a press conference here Monday. He said: &quot;We will make such films in future aswell, and I don&#39;t see any problems with such films.&quot; Describing the film as gritty and realistic, John also said that since the Central Board of Film Certificaton has granted the movie a U/A certificate, there must not be a problem. &quot;I am allowed to exercise freedom of speech as itis a democratic country,&quot; said the actor, who was flanked by the film&#39;s director, Shoojit Sircar, and actresses Nargis Fakhri and newcomer Raashi Khanna. He even said that there was never an intention to promote &quot;Madras Cafe&quot; via the medium of controversy. &quot;It is an honest and credible film, and we hope it runs on word of mouth,&quot; said John. The movie releases Aug 23.
