The first look of Madras Café starring  John Abraham and ‘Rockstar’ famed actress Nargis Fakri is out. John Abraham, Nargis Fakhri and Ayushmann Khurrana have  lead roles and the film deals with cross-border terrorism between Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka.Madras Cafe is directed by Shoojit Sircar, whose last film was an eccentric romantic comedy ‘Vicky Donor’. From the comedy genre the director has shifted to a completely different genre. On  the first look of the film, Sircar says, the poster bears an outline of Sri Lanka, probably suggesting that the most of the actions will take place in Sri Lanka. The poster also shows John Abraham with a gun. He plays the role of an Indian Intelligence Agent in the film. Nargis also sports an intense look in the poster.

The dull images soldiers, helicopters and action scenes somewhat suggest John Abraham, Nargis Fakhri and Ayushmann Khurrana will be seen in earthy, determined roles. The poster of ‘Madras Cafe’ informs the audience about what they can expect from the film. Madrsa café is Nargis Fakhri’s second starring-role after director Imtiaz Ali’s ‘Rockstar’.The background of the poster features a lot of shots from the film, which clearly shows that some action will take place in Jaffna. Being a political thriller movie, Madras Cafe was earlier titled ‘Jaffna’. The first film of Shoojit Sircar was ‘Yahaan’, which was also about terrorism. So, it is not a surprise that he has chosen a different genre.
