Ever since the teaser of RAW (Romeo Akbar Walter) released on India’s 70^th Republic Day, it has caught the attention of every citizen who loves his motherland. Set in the tumultuous period of 1968-71, RAW is based on true events which had an impact on the future of three countries- India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. It was a period, which saw the subcontinent’s most decisive battle marking the birth of Bangladesh. In just 13 days the Pakistan army surrender unconditionally to the Indian army, making the 1971 war one of the shortest in history. India’s intelligence agencies played a very crucial part in this conflict, which made every Indian action precise, impactful and deadly. Written & Directed by Robbie Grewal, the espionage thriller is a salute to those who serve the nation behind enemy lines and yet remain nameless, faceless and are often forgotten. The trailer of the much-anticipated film was launched TODAY.   John Abraham essays the role of a RAW agent who chooses to serve his country and sacrifices everything he has, even his very existence. The film also has a stellar ensemble star cast with Jackie Shroff, Mouni Roy, Suchitra Krishnamoorthi and Sikander Kherr & Raghubir Yadav in pivotal roles. John Abraham said, “RAW is a story that needs to be told especially in times like today. It is an ode to the brave hearts who serve the nation behind enemy lines remaining nameless, faceless and are often forgotten. It is one of my most challenging roles so far- pushing my limits with different looks, accents and personas. Kudos to Robbie for making an original Indian espionage thriller with an entertaining and engaging storyline”.
