Vidyut Jammwal, in his maiden production, plays the role of a smart Indian Intelligence Bureau Officer in the film. The espionage thriller is directed by Sankalp Reddy, known for the 2017 National Award-winning war film Ghazi.
Ahead of the release, the actor sought blessings at the Golden Temple and performed seva by washing dishes dressed in all-white attire. Vidyut, who is currently promoting the film, also visited the Wagah Border to pay his respects to the soldiers. ‘IB 71’, which is produced and headlined by Vidyut Jammwal and directed by National-Award winning filmmaker Sankalp Reddy, is based on the true story of the Ganga hijack of 1971, which played a pivotal role in India’s strategic victory over Pakistan.
Vidyut took to his Instagram to share the video and captioned it, “Waheguruji #BlessingsForIB71”
Speaking of working on the film, Reddy had earlier said, “I was drawn to the film’s intriguing premise and the opportunity to explore the world of undercover operations. With Vidyut Jammwal in the lead, I knew that I had an actor who not only had the physicality to pull off high-octane action scenes but also the depth and nuance to bring his character to life. I can’t wait for audiences to experience the world of IB 71.” Speaking of Vidyut’s look in the film, the filmmaker added, “It was a sincere coordination between the production designer, art department, costume designer, and DOP. It was a 7-month phase of trial and error method.”
IB 71 is presented by Gulshan Kumar, T-Series Film and Reliance Entertainment. The Action Hero Films production stars Vidyut Jammwal, Anupam Kher and Vishal Jethwa in pivotal roles and is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Action Hero Films and Reliance Entertainment.
