All 100 crore films are not great, says John Abraham

Actor-producer John Abraham feels that all Rs 100 crore club films are not
great.

After the critical and commercial success
of Vicky Donor , the actor's production house JA Entertainment and Rising Sun
Films have teamed up once again for Madras Cafe.

"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," John said.

A spy thriller, the film is a story based on
the political relations between India and
Sri Lanka and it releases on August 23.

The other two big films releasing next
month are Chennai Express (on August 8 - Eid) and Once Upon Ay Time in
Mumbaai Dobaara! (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 said.

"We want to make entertaining films with
strong content. We want to make quality
films," he said.

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.
