The dashing John Abraham has been offered a role by ace director Mani Ratnam in his next Hindi film.

However, due to date problems John hasn't confirmed himself for the film.

John told a website, " Mani Ratnam has offered me a film . It's a great role and I'd love to do it but I need time to work things out."

"Right now, I'm genuinely facing a date crunch. I'm trying to sort things out to see if I can shuffle the dates I've already given elsewhere. Only then will I be able to give Mani Sir a concrete answer," he added.

Meanwhile, John has started a website and developed a cell phone game also.

Said John: "I have started my own website. In just 15 days there have been 1.5 million hits. It is unbelievable. Yeah, I guess for a guy who came from the outside I have come a long way.

"There are three kinds of actors — those that are industry-made, those that are media-made and those that are audience-made. I feel I belong to the last category. It's the love of my audience that's kept me going in spite of some of my films not doing well."

Except for Nikhil Advani's 'Salaam-E-Ishq' and Ravi Chopra 's Babul , John said he doesn't really have too many big-banner films on hand. "I have a lot of hard work to do. I feel I have a lot of limitations. And I need to keep working hard to overcome those limitations."
