John did Aashayein for free

The long-delayed is finally hitting the screens on August 27, but the actor believes that it will touch a chord with the audience.

“John and Nagesh felt this movie is beyond economics. This film, according to them, is about something much deeper. The story was such that they wanted to tell the story to the audiences,” said a source close to actor. “Even when it got delayed they never lost hope.”

Aashayein is a story of a compulsive gambler, Rahul Singh, played by John who discovers new meanings of fortune and life through a dramatic turn of events.
