Actor-producer John Abaraham makes no bones about admitting that critical acclaim is more important to him than commercial success as he wants to produce "different" films which have a lasting shelf life.

John turned producer with "Vicky Donor", which went on to taste box office success as well as acclaim with a National Award. His next movie "Madras Cafe" is ready for release.

`As a producer, I'm not interested in commercial success. What matters is to be critically acclaimed. 'Vicky Donor' was a different film and 'Madras Cafe' is very different from 'Vicky Donor'. So, as a producer, I want to make different and credible films, which will live on your DVD shelf and should be worth it,` John told.

The actor, who also stars in "Madras Cafe", directed by Shoojit Sircar, says the movie is made in a basic budget, but it looks like an expensive film.

`This film is a political thriller. It is made in a basic budget, but it will look like a Rs.50 crore film,` he said.

John is at present busy promoting "Madras Cafe", which also stars Nargis Fakhri. The movie releases Aug 23.
