Script of Madras Cafe scores over John Abraham: Shoojit Sircar
17 July 2013 8:04 PM GMT
Shoojit Sircar says the real star of his upcoming film Madras Cafe is its content, not John Abraham who plays the lead in the spy-thriller.
‘I am content with the way my film has shaped up. I consider the script as my star and in this film also John is not the star, it is the story. Only Salman Khan’s films do not follow this funda,’ Shoojit said.
John, who plays a RAW agent in the movie, has also produced with Shoojit. It is their second outing together after the success of Vicky Donor. ‘John and I are going like a team with our every film. We are trying to create an environment where content of the film becomes a star at the end. Our films should purely be content driven.
In Madras Cafe, I transformed John into a normal looking guy,’ Shoojit said. The film, slated to release on 23 August, is being compared with Oscar-winning Hollywood film Argo, which narrates the role of CIA during the Iran hostage crisis in 1979.
