Vidyut Jammwal's production house, Action Hero Films has joined forces with National Award-winning filmmaker Sankalp Reddy for a first-of-its-kind espionage thriller titled, IB 71. The announced venture is Jammwal's maiden film as a producer.
Starring Vidyut in the
role of an Intelligence Officer, the joint production is based on a true
incident and shrouded in secrecy as it recounts the tale of how the Indian
Intelligence Officers outwitted the entire Pakistani establishment and gave the
Indian armed forces the required advantage they needed to face a two-front war.
Producer-Actor Vidyut
Jammwal shares, “Some of the most interesting episodes in Indian history have
inspired IB 71. With this film, Action Hero Films pursues the endeavour to
unravel a riveting story envisaged by gifted writers. I have full faith in
Sankalp Reddy's vision as a filmmaker."
Not all victories are won
on the battlefield; some are won with clever manoeuvres. The film depicts the
precursor to the Indo-Pak war that gave India the necessary advantage to win
it. Vidyut will be seen spearheading the film as an Intelligence Officer and it
couldn't have asked for a better lead. This compelling story which will be
helmed by Sankalp Reddy, who has a certain sensitivity towards the subject of
the film. The makers are excited to bring a story that is a celebration of
unsung heroes who want no credit for their contribution to the country.
Shibasish Sarkar, Group
CEO, Reliance Entertainment, says, “This subject has not been explored much in
Indian Cinema and the novelty and significance of this part of Indian history
has inspired us to produce this story with Vidyut and Sankalp. We are looking
forward to giving the audience a glimpse of history and loads of thrills!”
Director Sankalp Reddy
says, “IB 71 is about what goes on before a triumph and a very different kind
of heroism is at play in its story. These are the themes that I connected with
when the story was narrated to me. I’m very happy that the producers have shown
tremendous belief in my vision. This film is truly special for me.”
Produced by Action Hero
Films, co-produced by Abbas Sayyed, directed by Sankalp Reddy, starring Vidyut
Jammwal, with the story by Aditya Shastri and screenplay by Storyhouse Films
LLP, IB 71 will hit the floors at the end of 2021.
