What matters is to be critically acclaimed. &#39;Vicky Donor&#39; was a different film and &#39;Madras Cafe&#39; is very different from &#39;Vicky Donor&#39;. So, as a producer, I want to make different and credible films, which will live on your DVD shelf and should be worth it,&rdquo; John said. The actor, who also stars in &#39;Madras Cafe&#39;, directed by Shoojit Sircar, says the movie is made in a basic budget, but it looks like an expensive film. &ldquo;This film is a political thriller. It is made in a basic budget, but it will look like a Rs.50 crore film,&rdquo; he said. John is at present busy promoting &#39;Madras Cafe&#39;, which also stars Nargis Fakhri. The movie releases on August 23.
