His maiden production
Vicky
Donor gained a lot of critical and commercial acclaim and
actor-turned-producer John Abraham says he wants to continue
making films that have an indelible impression on the
audience.
The 39-year-old actor, who made the film with a new star
cast and a budget of Rs seven crore, ended up earning close to
40 crores just from the Indian box office and John says he is
loving his stint as a producer.
"I just think that my sense of comfort as a producer is
coming along and it has been a natural progression from being
an actor to a producer. I want to create that kind of cinema
that lives beyond my life and
Vicky Donor has been a
positive step in that direction.
"Now I am not going to lose steam from this point on. I
have no shame in going to any ends to make sure that a good
film is made. More so because I am strictly going as per my
belief and faith," John said.
There are quite a few films in the pipeline like
I, Me
Aur Main,
Kaala Ghoda,
Hamaara Bajaj and
Jaffna, which
the actor will partially or entirely produce in the months to
come.
"There are good plans to make different films. They would
belong to different genres and subjects with either fresh or
established cast. The budgets could range from 5 crore to 25
crore but the idea is to spend as much as it is required to
make a project viable," John said.
The actor will be next seen in two action films
Race 2
and
Shootout at Wadala. While the former see him do some
cool dare devil action for Abbas-Mustan, in the latter he will
get into a period setting and play a dreaded don.

"It is quite an intense outing for
Shootout At Wadala.
I try to work with good people, the ones who have a positive
air around them and are good in their hearts.
"Rest everything falls into place by itself because once
you have faith in your director and vice versa, it enhances
the professional setup," he said.
