The actor also stars in “Satyameva Jayate 2” and “Attack”, both action dramas scheduled to be released in cinema halls. While “Satyameva Jayate 2” will clash with Salman Khan’s “Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai” on the Eid holiday of May 13, “Attack” will open on Independence Day weekend.
This year, Abraham will also be seen in a cameo in “Sardar Ka Grandson”, slated to be released on the streamer Netflix. Starring Arjun Kapoor, Neena Gupta, and Rakul Preet Singh in the lead, the film is a joint production of Abraham’s JA Entertainment, Emmay Entertainment and T-Series.
Although OTT is a “great avenue”, the actor said said he doesn’t want to take away the theatrical experience from the audience.
“The OTT platform is a great avenue and an option. But for me, it has always been about the big screen, being a big screen hero. I won’t be available for subscription fee,” he added.
In “Mumbai Saga”, directed by Sanjay Gupta, Abraham plays a gangster named Amartya Rao. The actor, who has played grey roles in movies like “Shootout at Wadala” and “Race 2”, said he enjoys playing the anti-hero.
“Normal has become boring. If you make a regular film, where the script is conceptually different and then you play a regular man, it is fine. People also love the anti-hero and they are going to relate to the film because we all are a face of rebellion in this country.” The film, slated to be released on Friday, is set in the 1980s-90s and revolves around all that went into transforming Bombay into Mumbai.
