A still from the RAW: Romeo Akbar Walter trailer
Parmanu actor John Abraham has taken on the character of a RAW agent in this espionage thriller, and we can't wait to see him in this avatar. The makers have finally treated the audience with the trailer of Romeo Akbar Walter and it seems like a promising action-packed thriller.
Sharing the trailer on his twitter handle, John wrote, "His dharma (moral duty) was to protect his nation against all evils and enemies. Here's presenting the trailer of Romeo. Akbar. Walter. In cinemas on 5th April."
The 2.46 minute-long trailer opens with Jackie Shroff stating that India is on the verge of a war with Pakistan. The dialogue single-handedly explains the background of the film. Directed by Robbie Grewal, RAW is set against the backdrop of the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971.
And while the story is not specifically based on any one person, it is said to be inspired by true events. The trailer features John in a ripped and tough avatar and looks every bit a fighter warrior ready to serve his country against all odds.
