To mark his ten years in the entertainment industry, action star Vidyut Jammwal had in April announced his production house, Action Hero Films. Abbas Sayyed joined him as co-producer in his new venture.
Today, Jammwal announced his maiden project under his home banner. His production house, Action Hero Films, is set to bankroll an espionage thriller titled IB 71 in collaboration with Reliance Entertainment.
