Actor-producer John Abaraham makes no bones about admitting that critical acclaim is more important to him than commercial success as he wants to produce ‘different’ films which have a lasting shelf life.
John turned producer with Vicky Donor, which went on to taste box office success as well as acclaim with a National Award. His next movie Madras Cafe is ready for release.
‘As a producer, I’m not interested in commercial success. What matters is to be critically acclaimed. Vicky Donor was a different film and Madras Cafe is very different from Vicky Donor. So, as a producer, I want to make different and credible films, which will live on your DVD shelf and should be worth it,’ John said.
