Actors Vidyut Jammwal, Arjun Rampal and Jacqueline Fernandez are set to star in a sports action film, the makers announced Thursday.
Titled Crakk, the movie will be directed by Aditya Datt of Aashiq Banaya Aapne and Table No. 21 fame. It will be produced by Action Hero Films and PZ Pictures.
Presented by Reliance Entertainment, Crakk is being touted as India’s first-ever extreme sports action film and will see Jammwal perform a variety of extreme sports stunts and action sequences.
It follows the journey of a man from the slums of Mumbai to the world of extreme underground sports.
Vidyut said the aim was to break all boundaries and explore a thrilling sports action film. “Looking at the current scenario and the way the audiences have changed, I have realised that everyone puts limits on everything they do — this trend spreads in work and the environment.”
“This changing scenario has confirmed that there are no limits but only plateaus, and we must not stay there. We must go beyond them. From this idea was born a movie on extreme sports from India,” the actor-producer said in a statement.
Aditya, who collaborated with Vidyut for Commando 3 (2019), said Crakk was the most challenging film of his career. “I worked on the script for the last four years, to up the game and challenge oneself, by narrating a story that has sports, gaming, action, drama and thrill,” he added.
Arjun said Crakk offered a lot more things to the audience and praised Jammwal for his dedication to perfect the action sequences in the movie.
On her part, Jacqueline said she was thoroughly impressed by the script narration of Crakk and immediately decided to be a part of it. She also said she looked forward to working with Vidyut and the rest of the team.
Aditya Chowksey, distribution head at Reliance Entertainment, said they were excited to team up with Vidyut on this film. “As India’s first-ever extreme sports action film, Crakk is a project we all are super excited about. And with Vidyut, an action icon, we are positive that the moviegoers in India are set for a thrilling ride.”
Co-produced by Adi Sharmaa and Aditya Chowksey, the film has started shooting in Poland. It is scheduled to be released in 2023.
