&quot;I can say that this is a work of fiction, but the backdrop is definitely about the Tamil conflict and about what happened in Sri Lanka,&quot; the 40-year-old said here Tuesday at a football event. <img alt="John Abraham" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/aug/John-Abraham.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 588px;" /> Directed by Shoojit Sircar, &quot;Madras Cafe&quot; also stars Nargis Fakhri and hits theatres Aug 23. John states that everyone must watch &quot;Madras Cafe&quot;. &quot;There are a lot of events that will come to life and we have presented it in a commercial way. Our youngsters don&#39;t know about what happened in the late 1980s and the early 1990s,&quot; added the actor, who is not only playing the lead role in the political thriller, but has also produced it. &quot;I don&#39;t know whether it&#39;s a good film or a bad film, but it&#39;s a film that everyone must see because it will give you an insight into what India is about,&quot; he added.

John Abraham admits that "Madras Cafe" is based on the Sri Lankan conflict in the 1980s, but states that the story is a work of fiction
