John Abraham’s Attack grabs Independence Day weekend again

John Abraham's action film Attack has once again grabbed the coveted Independence Day slot. The film, which was originally due to be released on 14 August 2020, will now be released worldwide on 13 August.

Written and directed by first-time filmmaker Lakshya Raj Anand, the action-thriller sees John in a race against time in a hostage crisis. The film, which has been inspired by a true story, is a work of fiction that also stars Jacqueline Fernandez and Rakul Preet Singh.

John, who is also producing the project, stated, “Attack is a taut, action entertainer with a strong storyline... a genre I love! At JA Entertainment, it is our endeavour to push the envelope and produce films that entertain and have something significantly different to show to our increasingly discerning audience. Releasing the film in theatres this Independence weekend adds to my excitement.”

Co-producer Dr Jayantilal Gada of Pen Studios said, “We are delighted to release this fascinating action entertainer on Independence weekend. By planning to bring it to theatres on 13 August 2021, we are standing by film exhibitors and theatre owners who have survived a very difficult year during the COVID-19 crisis. John and his production house have conceived a phenomenal film and people will flock to watch it on the big screen!”

Ajay Kapoor, another co-producer, added that working on the film with John and Gada was special. He said, “[Attack] brings an engaging and important story to audiences and will interest the younger generation. It’s a pleasure to release the film on the Independence weekend when its story will resonate with people even more.”
