John Abraham starrer Satyameva Jayate has managed to cross 90 crore mark after its Independence day release. Talking about the success of the film, John said, "It's a very nice feeling, but I am not one of those who gets complacent with a film's success and now I am moving to my next film."
"My next film will be RAW (Romeo Akbar Walter) and with every film, you have to prove a point and after RAW, I will be doing Batla House and it goes on so, overall very happy with the audience response to Satyameva Jayate."
John's production house JA Entertainment has produced successful films like Vicky Donor, Madras Cafe, and Parmanu - The Story of Pokharan.' When asked what made him a producer, he said, "I became a producer because I wasn't getting film offers of my choice."
He started creating content on his own. "My first produced film's story (Vicky Donor) was so good but I didn't fit in for that part so, we took Ayushmann Khurrana for that film and I believe that JA Entertainment is one of the best content creators in the industry today and I am very proud of it," he said.
