<p>The model-turned-actor who has not been seen on the silver screen since the early 2009 release 'New York', said that he had "taken off" to restructure his proffesional life.<br /><br />"I had taken off because I want to do qualitative work. I was restructuring my professional life, how I could give better films to audiences. By restructuring, I am trying to select right scripts, right directors and right producers, charting out professional life to give best and better than the audience expected. It is like a game of Chess," John told PTI here in an interview.<br /><br />"The best part of my professional life starts now. I say so because I believe in the projects that I am doing and will be liked by the audiences," the actor said.<br />John's upcoming releases include 'Aashayein', 'Hook Ya Crook', Dostana 2', Abbas Tyrewala's unititled film and other solo films.<br /><br />John who is an animal rights enthusiast and is closely associated with the NGO People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) will be producing a film themed on tigers with the prominent environmentalist and filmmaker Mike Pandey.<br />"I am co-producing it and am also the narrator," he said. <br /><br />John made his debut with the erotic thriller 'Jism' in 2003 opposite Bipasha Basu, which earned him a Filmfare Best Debut Actor nomination.<br />Following a couple of flop films like 'Saaya', 'Lakeer-Forbidden Lines', 'Zinda' and 'Salaam-e-Ishq', success followed after his first commercial hit, 'Dhoom' in 2004.<br /><br />"Dhoom gave me the right platform, where my acting skills got recognition. I think after the two back-to-back successes like 'Dostana' and 'New York' that I had, the audience that come to watch my films have certain expectations from me now," John said.<br />"I don't want to upset them; I want to give better and best to audiences. So it is important for me to position myself for the audiences as per the likes, but at the same time I am trying to give or show them something different in my every film," the 37-year-old actor said.<br /><br />"It is essential to zero-in on films you want to do, which you believe will be liked by audiences," he added.</p>
