'Attack' teaser: Feels Hollywood-y, John Abraham dons super soldier look
What's the story
John Abraham, who suddenly had removed all his pictures from his Instagram account, has posted something today. And it's none other than the teaser of his next, Attack. His Instagram profile picture, too, has an image from the movie. If you watch the teaser, it will send chills down your spine. Available on Pen Movies' official YouTube Channel, it has crossed 4mn views already.
Context
Why does it matter?
Abraham's last release Satyameva Jayate 2 performed exactly opposite to the hype created around the movie. It tanked at the box office. In fact, Batla House was his last commercial success, which released in 2019. To maintain his credibility, Abraham has to make sure his next does good business. Will Attack be a gamechanger for the 48-year old star? Let's wait till January 2022.
Information
Highlights: Abraham's transformation, Jacqueline Fernandez running in a saree
