"John Abraham&amp;#039;s Madras Cafe will not be shown in Tamil Nadu by film distributors. The actor&amp;#039;s second production sees him playing an intelligence agent investigating political activists in the region.  A spokesman for The Theatre Owners&amp;#039; Association told IANS: &amp;quot;The decision to release the film has been given to individual theatres. Since the government has not banned the film, the theatres are free to screen. But if they feel they might face the wrath of protestors, then we can&amp;#039;t do anything.&amp;quot; Another multiplex representative added: &amp;quot;We fear releasing the film might aggravate the ongoing protests. We don&amp;#039;t want to risk it and, moreover, the decision to screen the film lies with each theatre.&amp;quot; Abraham said in a statement this week: &amp;quot;I would like to urge all of Chennai (Tamilnadu capital) to support Madras Cafe as a film and allow it to release. It is a credible film made with a lot of heart and gives audiences something novel to be entertained about, vouching and encouraging cinema.&amp;quot; He also commented that he will not allow political groups to ban the film before they actually see it. The film has faced calls for a ban from politician Vaiko, a supporter of The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam.
