John
Abraham
has
announced
another
Independence
Day
release.
'Attack',
which
is
scheduled
to
hit
theatres
on
August
14,
2020,
will
be
John's
third
consecutive
Independence
Day
release.
Attack
is
written
and
directed
by
debut
director
Lakshya
Raj
Anand.
The
film
will
star
Jacqueline
Fernandez
and
Rakul
Preet
Singh
alongside
John.
Making
the
announcement,
John
told
IANS,
"Attack
is
a
taut,
interesting
thriller
with
a
strong
storyline
and
a
genre
I
love!
That
it
is
releasing
on
Independence
Day
makes
it
even
more
exciting.
At
JA
Entertainment
(John's
production
house),
it
is
our
endeavour
to
push
the
envelope
and
produce
films
that
entertain
and
have
something
significant
to
show
to
the
increasingly
discerning
audience."
John
has
been
featuring
in
quite
a
few
movies
which
have
patriotism
as
their
central
theme.
This
formula
has
been
working
quite
well
for
John.
His
2018
Independence
Day
release,
'Satyameva
Jayate',
and
2019
Independence
Day
release,
'Batla
House',
both
crossed
the
100
crore
mark.
In
Attack,
John
plays
the
role
of
a
leader
of
a
rescue
operation
team
in
a
hostage
crisis
situation.
According
to
sources,
the
roles
of
the
two
female
leads,
Jacqueline
and
Rakul
are
powerful
and
action-oriented.
Rakul
was
last
seen
in
a
special
role
in
Marjaavaan,
opposite
Sidharth
Malhotra.
Jacqueline's
last
release
was
Drive,
starring
opposite
Sushant
Singh
Rajput.
John,
on
the
other
hand,
was
last
seen
in
Anees
Bazmee's
action
comedy
Pagalpanti.
