Abraham is also co-producing the film under JA Entertainment and is excited to release the film during the Independence Day weekend. Notably, the Maharashtra government recently gave its nod to allow 100% capacity in theaters that were shut down for months owing to the coronavirus pandemic.

Market respite
'Attack' release aids film exhibitors and theater owners
Dr. Jayantilal Gada of Pen Studios praised how the release of Attack is in the best interest of film exhibitors and theater owners, who survived a pan-India shut down due to the COVID-19 crisis.
