Shoojit Sircar's 'Madras Cafe' to release on August 30

Mumbai: Director Shoojit Sircar's Madras Cafe, a political thriller starring John Abraham and Nargis Fakhri, is set to release on August 30.

The movie is co-produced by Sircar's Rising Sun Films and will see him and music director Shantanu Moitra re-unite seven years after 'Yahaan'.

Sircar is happy to have reunited with Moitra for the music of the film.

"Shantanu and me go back a long way, since our college days in Delhi... 'Madras Cafe' is a serious film and we have already started jamming. The background score will be an integral part of this film. I really excited to team up

again," he added.

Moitra said working on 'Madras Cafe' was like revisiting an old friend.

"It's been a long journey. I gave Shoojit his first music video for my album Mann Ke Manjeere and then I scored his first film 'Yahaan'. So, 'Madras Cafe' is like visiting an old friend, who is also the finest musical brain a director can have," Moitra said.
