John Abraham says, “Collaborating with Viacom 18 Motion Pictures and KYTA Productions on RAW has been very exciting. Having worked with them in the past, I know we have the right partners with experience and strong support for this edge of the seat thriller. It is one of my most challenging roles so far- pushing my limits with different looks, accents and personas.

The reactions to the three ‘looks’ released so far has been great; I’m looking forward to the audience take on the teaser.”

It holds great promise for contemporary audiences, and we look forward to this journey.

It took a lot of hard work and dedication to portray a story unheard of a true patriot. We had to do a lot of research on the looks and feel of the film and I hope we’ve been successful in doing so.”
