After launching his production house Action Hero Films in April this year, Vidyut Jammwal has finally announced his first film titled IB 71 under the banner. The film, produced in association with Reliance Entertainment, will be helmed by National award-winning director Sankalp Reddy.

The actor shared his good news through his Twitter page as he revealed the title and director of the movie.
