It is our endeavour to push the envelope and produce films that entertain and have something significant to show to the increasingly discerning audience. Attack is a taut, interesting thriller with a strong storyline and a genre that I love! I am happy that Dheeraj and Ajay are onboard this very interesting project.”

Producer Ajay Kapoor of Kyta Productions added, “Attack is an intelligent, engaging story, which needs to be told for audiences of the younger generation. Working with John Abraham and his production banner has been a pleasure as we think alike on films. We look forward to this exciting collaboration.”

Attack is set to go on floors in December 2019. The makers are yet to lock any official date for the theatrical release of the film. However, it is expected to enter theatres in the second half of 2020. More details are awaited.
