John, Jacqueline’s ‘Attack’ to release in Jan

Bollywood stars John Abraham and Jacqueline Fernandez are set to thrill the audiences on the occasion of Republic Day in India next year, which marks the release of their action-thriller ‘Attack’, reports India Today.

Taking to his Twitter handle on Thursday, the actor revealed the film’s release date along with an intense-looking poster. The movie, which is said to be inspired by true events, clocks the events of a hostage crisis.

Making the announcement, John wrote, “A hostage crisis that brought the country to its knees! This time the race is against time, get ready for Attack.” The tagline of the poster, which gives a glimpse of John’s character, read, “A nation builds a super soldier. Releasing worldwide on Republic Day 2022!”

Apart from John and Jacqueline the movie also stars Rakul Preet Singh in a pivotal role.

Attack has been directed and co-written by Lakshya Raj Anand, while John Abraham, Jayantilal Gada and Ajay Kapoor are onboard as producers.

The movie was originally slated to release worldwide on August 13, 2021, which would have been this year’s Independence Day weekend. However, it faced postponement due to the shooting suspension. The Lakshya Raj Anand debut directorial will showcase the story of rescue by an attack team, which will be led by John’s character.

On the work front, John will soon appear in Satyameva Jayate 2 after just announcing the release date of Mohit Suri’s Ek Villain Returns. Sardaar Ka Grandson and Mumbai Saga were the actor’s most recent films. 

Meanwhile, Jacqueline Fernandes will star in two films alongside Akshay Kumar: Ram Setu and Bachchan Pandey. She will act with Ranveer Singh and Pooja Hegde in the comedy Cirkus.
