After booking Eid 2021 for his action thriller, Satyameva Jayate 2, which releases on May 13, John Abraham has now set his sights on the Independence Day weekend. On Sunday, the actor-producer announced that his next action thriller, Attack, will hit the screens on August 13. Lakshya Raj Anand’s directorial venture also features Jacqueline Fernandez. There is a buzz that Abraham-starrer Mumbai Saga, which was to drop digitally, will now release in theatres.

The fictional story is said to be inspired by true events, set against a hostage crisis. It also stars Jacqueline Fernandez and Rakul Preet Singh in key roles. Attack is written and directed by debutant Lakshya Raj Anand and is a story of rescue by an attack team led by a lone ranger played by John.
