As per John Abraham, "Madras Cafe brings us closer to what changed the political history of India."[10] The film, set in India and Sri Lanka, is a political spy thriller set against backdrop of the Sri Lankan civil war.[5] Vikram Singh (John Abraham) is an Indian Army special officer who is appointed by the intelligence 

agency Research and Analysis Wing to conduct covert operations in Sri Lanka shortly after Indian Peace Keeping Force was forced to withdraw. As he journeys to Sri Lanka, with the intention of disrupting a rebel group, he discovers the larger issue. There he meets a British journalist (Jaya) who wants to reveal the truth about the civil war, and in the process he uncovers a conspiracy.

    John Abraham - Vikram Singh (Indian army officer appointed by the Research and Analysis Wing to carry out operations in Jaffna). Singh is fictitious, Sircar said he had “used real references, portrayed rebel groups, revolutionary freedom fighters, Indian Peace Keeping Forces (and) shown how India got involved and the 

chaos”.[11] "I didn’t want to make glitzy thriller like Ek Tha Tiger or Agent Vinod, which seem inspired by 

the Bond template. I want to show that intelligence officers are ordinary people who live amongst us. It is only that they have to solve issues where national security is at stake,” says Sircar. Sircar says he needed an actor who can easily get lost in the crowd but with John it seems next to impossible. “The role also requires a certain level of physicality and John Abraham has worked for the role. I agree this is a new territory for him

 but I think he has pitched it right. Let’s see how the audiences take him.”
    Nargis Fakhri - Jaya (a British war correspondent in Sri Lanka) (inspired by many war correspondents, including Anita Pratap[10]) As for Nargis, Sircar says her voice hasn’t been dubbed. “Nargis Fakhri is playing foreign war correspondent. I needed a girl who looks Indian journalist but has an accent so there is no chance that audience will remember her Rockstar performance while watching Madras Café. She will converse in English and she is familiar with the language,” says Sircar.[14]

    Rashi Khanna - Ruby Singh- wife of Singh[
    Ajay Rathnam - Anna Bhaskaran(leader of fictitious rebel group LTF) - closely resembling Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam leader Velupillai Prabhakaran[17]
    Leena Maria Paul - a Tamil rebel[18][19]
    Tinu Menachery[20] - a Tamil rebel
    Siddharth Basu - Robin Dutt, a key bureaucrat in Research and Analysis Wing.[21]
    Agnello Dias[22] - a Sri Lankan minister
    Piyush Pandey - a Cabinet Secretary of India[23]
    Dibang[24]

John Abraham said that director Shoojit Sircar narrated the script of Madras Cafe to him in 2006 but could not get around to beginning it. "After our last film together, we decided to get back to doing where we started off from. That's the story behind Madras Cafe," he said
Titl

The film was initially titled Jaffna after the northern Sri Lankan city.[26] It was renamed as Madras Cafe, as the plot to kill Gandhi was hatched at the cafe. The original location of the cafe is not specified in the film.[
Castin

John Abraham, the lead actor and one of the producers of the films, plays Vikram Singh, a military officer who is sent to Jaffna on a covert operation. "I had to lose a lot of muscle because these officers look like regular people. When they are in a crowd, they are completely inconspicuous," says John.[28] Pakistani-Czech model-turned-actor Nargis Fakhri was cast to play Jaya, a British journalist in Jaffna.[29] For the role of foreign war correspondent, Nargis Fakhri was chosen because the director required "a girl 

[women] who looked Indian but had an [British] accent." Thus this was the first film where her voice wasn't dubbed.[5][30] Shoojit Sircar contacted model Sheetal Mallar for the film,[31] but as things did not work out, newcomer Rashi Khanna was signed for the role, who makes her debut.[15] Malayalam actress Leena Maria said that she plays a female Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam member,[18] Although the executive producer denied her involvement in the project after she was arrested in a cheating case,[32] the director confirmed she is part of the vast cast and her arrest does not affect the film.[19]
Filming

Madras Cafe was shot in Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Thailand, London and India.[33] The Sri Lankan scenes of the film were shot in India, where the city of Jaffna and large parts of inner Sri Lanka were recreated. "We knew we couldn't shoot this in Sri Lanka, so we shot most of it in Tamil Nadu and Kerala and converted it into a war zone. The second part of the film is based in India, which is the politics part.", said Sircar[5][34]

 The first schedule of the film was shot extensively in south India. The second schedule was shot in Mumbai, outside India and again in few parts of south India.[35] Several civil war scenes were shot in Bangkok as firings by Light machine guns were not permitted in India. Real AK-47s, 9mm Berettas and M60s were used, for which special permission was obtained from the local authorities.[36]

The trailer was released on July 12, 2013 along with Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.[37]

Uncertainty looms over release of Madras Cafe in Tamil Nadu
Thursday, Aug 22, 2013, 20:17 IST | Place: New Delhi | Agency: PTI

Uncertainly loomed over the scheduled release of controversial Bollywood film Madras Cafe tomorrow in Tamil Nadu, as cine hall owners were skeptical of screening the John Abraham starrer, following continued protests from students and political parties on the ground that it portrayed the outlawed LTTE in bad light.

Prominent cinema halls here have not started reservation of tickets for the film, scheduled for a nationwide release tomorrow.

A cinema hall owner said though no collective decision was taken on the issue, each hall owner would decide,depending on the factors concerning their halls. He indicated that not all cinema halls would release the film.

Student organisations staged a protest today too against release of the film, alleging that it distorts facts.

John Abraham had in a statement in Mumbai yesterday, said, "I would like to urge all of Chennai to support Madras Cafe as a film and allow it to release (as per the schedule). It is a credible film made with a lot of heart and gives audiences something novel to be entertained about, vouching and encouraging cinema."

BJP had demanded that the film not be screened anywhere in India. It also further asked Congress to respond to "opinions" that the film had its backing and sought a national ban against it, warning of "unwanted consequences" subsequent to its release.

The spy thriller "demeaned" Tamils by portraying them as terrorists while supporting Sri Lanka, BJP's state unit president Pon Radhakrishnan said.

Abraham's second production venture, 'Madras Cafe' had courted controversy with pro-Tamil groups up in arms for its depiction of outlawed LTTE allegedly in negative light.

DMK chief M Karunanidhi had urged the state government to ascertain if such charges were true and take appropriate action.

MDMK chief Vaiko and Naam Thamizhar Katchi leader Seeman have already sought a ban on the film, starring Abraham as an Indian intelligence agent in Sri Lanka during the civil war between government and LTTE in late 80s and early 90s.

Naam Thamizhar Katchi had in July given a complaint to police, demanding that the film not be released in the state, citing possible law and order problems.

John Abraham has refused to delete any scene from Madras Cafe, wondering why anyone had a problem with the film when the Censor Board had cleared it.
