'Madras Cafe' defines cinema I stand for: John (Movie Snippets)

John Abraham says his next production "Madras Cafe" is truly the kind of cinema that defines the work he wants to do in the film industry.

Directed by Shoojit Sircar, who also helmed John's production debut "Vicky Donor", the movie is said to be a gritty thriller.

"This would define what I stand for in terms of cinema. I want films that I produce to have credible content and 'Madras Cafe' is that film," John tweeted Thursday.

The movie also features Nargis Fakhri.

Its first look features John in a rugged look, with a revolver in his hand. Nargis also sports an intense look in the poster.
