MUMBAI: John Abraham is on a promotional drive ahead of his next release ‘Madras Café’. The film set to release on 23 August will see John play an intelligence officer.

Taking out some time from his busy schedule, the actor was spotted outside a resto-bar in Mumbai. Looks like the actor was on a quick lunch break to grab a bite.

Dressed in cargos and white t-shirt with an olive green shirt, John gracefully posed for the camera.

While there is huge controversy surrounding ‘Madras Café’ and speculations over portraying Tamilians in bad light, John Abraham keeps calm and relaxed ahead of the film’s release.

At several events, he has maintained that Madras Café is a fictional account of the civil war in Sri Lanka during the early 90’s.

‘Madras Café’ directed by Shoojit Sircar, is set to release on 23 August and also stars Nargis Fakhri in the lead.
