Amid escalating tension between India and Pakistan, John Abraham brings yet another chapter of the countries' shared history in RAW: Romeo Akbar Walter. Said to be inspired by true events of 1971 which saw the subcontinent's most decisive battle marking the birth of Bangladesh, the thriller has the actor play a RAW agent who is sent undercover to Pakistan.
Point out that the film is releasing when there is a strong wave of patriotism in the country, and Abraham says it is a coincidence: "We do not want to sound like opportunists in this current situation because we had decided to release the film around this time, almost a year ago. Back then, the situation was certainly not the same. However, the film resonates with what is happening in the country."
