Hey Vidyut Jammwal fans, did you miss watching him on the big screen? Then the trailer of his upcoming film – IB 71 – will definitely make your day. This one is a bit different from his usual line of films as it won't feature him performing high-octane action sequences. Through IB 71, Vidyut brings the “incredible true story that made (the country) win the 1971 Indo-Pak war.” That's not the only good part. Directed by National Award-winner Sankalp Reddy, the spy-thriller also stars Anupam Kher. It is based on true events, showcasing how IB (Intelligence Bureau) agent Dev Jammwal (played by Vidyut Jammwal) carries out a “top secret mission” to outwit Pakistan with the help of 30 more agents in just 10 days. IB 71, also featuring Vishal Jethwa in a prominent role, will be released in theatres on May 12.
Unveiling the trailer on social media on Monday, the makers of IB 71 summed up the plot like this: “30 agents, 10 days, and 1 top-secret mission that was hidden for 50 years! Witness this incredible true story that made us win the 1971 Indo-Pak war. IB 71 a patriotic spy thriller is an untold story based on true events where IB agent Dev Jammwal (Vidyut Jammwal) is on a top-secret mission to save the nation.”
