John remarked, “I am a big-screen hero and that is where I want to be seen. At this point, I will do films that cater to big screen. I would find it offensive if someone shut off my film midway on a tablet because y needed to rush to washroom. Also, I would not like to be available for Rs 299 or 499. I have a problem with that.”
