The 39-year-old cringed upon being asked how he managed to crack the "formula" within the first go.
"See... honestly, if something goes wrongtomorrow, you'll say 'What went wrong?' It's common! So in preference to basking within the limelight and saying 'Hey listen, everything is fine', the key is to continue doing good work," John told.
"I think the formula could be very simple so far as I'M concerned. As an individual, I THINK I DO KNOW what makes the youth happy relating to films, and that i need to make films for young people, who can go and say 'Hey, that is really nice, this was a large number of fun and sensible too.' So that is the space I WOULD LIKE to function now and i'm enjoying that space," he added.
It's unconventional for actors-turned-producers to let newcomers take centrestage, but John didn't consider carefully about letting Ayushmann Khurrana act in "Vicky Donor", a movie with a subject matter as strong as sperm donation. The reason?
"I desired to be a hands-on producer. Most actors produce films that they simply act in. I WISHED to verify I make films that I FEEL in, even though the solid is otherwise. And i've numerous faith in Ayushmann. I'M producing another film with him. He's a completely talented and entirely a gem of a boy," said John, who has cast Ayushmann for one more film named "Hamara Bajaj".
There are few other films within the making under John's banner, he said. " 'Jaffna'was a movie within the making for approximately two years. As a result of 'Jaffna', 'VickyDonor' happened. That was a movie Shoojit Sircar and that i were engaged on. 'HamaraBajaj' was also a movie Shoojit was planning to make with a newcomer, so we decided to take Ayushmann in it."
"The fourth film is 'Kala Ghoda'. Besides this, we're making three more films, which we will be able to announce later," John said.
It might be an excellent mixture of films, but primarily "commercial films with smaller budgets".
"The important thing is casting them right. These days, people make proposals, not films! So the key is to make good cinema. If 'Vicky Donor' is a benchmark, then I SUPPOSE people know the type of films I NEED to make," he said.
