&quot;It was a challenge for me to portray a much mature character on-screen. I was little apprehensive of my capabilities but Shoojit sir (director Shoojit Sircar) helped me perfect my portrayal.u00a0 <img alt="John Abraham and Rashi Khanna" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/jul/Rashi-Khanna.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 455px;" /> John Abraham and Rashi Khanna. Pic/Satyajit Desai I attended three workshops with him and he made me understand it better. I can now pull off mature characters,&quot; Rashi told PTI. &quot;Madras Cafe&quot; is a spy thriller set against the backdrop of the Sri Lankan Civil War of the 1990s and John plays a RAW agent. The film, which will hit theatre on April 23, also stars &quot;Rockstar&quot; actress Nargis Fakhri in a pr ominent role. The 22-year-old actress plays the role of Ruby Singh in the film. &quot;In this husband-wife relationship silence does the talking most. She is not aware of her husband&#39;s work and when she comes to know about it she does not show it on his face. She is a great influence in his life and shares a beautiful relationship with him,&quot; Rashi said. The Delhi girl says she was in awe of John when she met the Bollywood star on the sets for the first time. &quot;John is a gentleman. He broke the ice through casual conversation and was very easygoing and helpful during the shoots,&quot; she said. A Delhi University graduate, Rashi started her showbiz career with TV commercials. She auditioned for the role and bagged the offer within a week&#39;s time. The newcomer is now looking forward to establish herself as an actress in Bollywood. &quot;I want to be part of every thing that comes to me. Be it commercial or offbeat, I want to establish myself as an actress.&quot; Rashi has reportedly signed another film under John Abraham&#39;s production opposite Ayushmann Khurrana but declined to talk about it.u00a0
