Jackie Shroff comes on-board for ‘RAW: Romeo Akbar Walter’

After the success of his last film ‘Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran’, actor John Abraham has kickstarted his next venture ‘RAW’. Directed by Robbie Grewal, the film is a spy thriller. The actor has started filming today and has even shared a picture from the sets of his film.

As per the report in Mumbai Mirror, after having John on-board, Producer Bunty Walia has roped in Bollywood’s ‘Bhidu’ Jackie Shroff to play a pivotal role in the film. Shroff will be playing stylish man of 70’s in the film. (Also Read: PHOTOS: John Abraham begins shooting for ‘Rome Akbar Walter’)

Further, the report suggested, that just like John, Jackie Shroff too did not take much time to come on board. The two actors loved the script. Bunty Walia even added that Shroff fits the bill perfectly.

Director of the movie, Robbie Grewal has also expressed his excitement over the project and stated that this time John will give his well-built image a miss as he is attending workshops and training to get into the character. And the movie will have a much leaner John.

He added, “John will be attending multiple workshops before the shoot for around 15-20 days to understand how a spy works. He needs to understand how things worked in 1971 and how different they are today in terms of training and interactions. The mental conditioning is as important for a role like this and John’s commitment is fantastic.”

The film also stars Mouni Roy and Sikander Kher in lead roles. ‘RAW’ will hit cinemas by the year-end.
