India Today
John Abraham’s Attack Part 1 will hit the screens on April 1, a week after SS Rajamouli’s RRR will have its grand release. The actor said he is confident about his film.
Actor John Abraham on Tuesday said he is confident that his upcoming actioner Attack will get good showcasing across cinema halls, despite releasing a week after filmmaker SS Rajamouli’s much-awaited RRR.
The Telugu film, set in the pre-independent India, is gearing to open in cinemas on March 25, while Abraham’s Attack will hit the screens on April 1.
Pen Studios, which has backed “Attack”, has also acquired the north India theatrical rights and all languages digital and satellite rights for “RRR”.
During the trailer launch of the film, when asked how many screens will Attack land, considering RRR is expected to dominate when it’s released, Abraham told reporters, “We’ve been promised a certain number of screen, we have been assured by our partners that we will get good screening.
“I have a lot of respect for Rajamouli sir and his kind of cinema, but we also have a lot of respect for what we have done. We are definitely not number two to anyone”.
Jayantilal Gada, Chairman and MD Pen Studios, said the box office is full of examples of two films releasing on the same day and “both being hits”.
Directed by Lakshya Raj Anand, Attack features Abraham as a “super soldier”, who can operate “beyond normal human limits”.
