Abraham’s last serious, nationalist sentiment-driven films Satyameva Jayate  (2018) and Batla House  (2019), were also released during the Independence Day week. While talking about the upcoming action film, Abraham told  Indo Asian News Service, “At JA Entertainment, we believe in ‘content first’. It is our endeavour to push the envelope and produce films that entertain and have something significant to show to the increasingly discerning audience. Attack is a taut, interesting thriller with a strong storyline and a genre that I love. I am happy that Dheeraj and Ajay are on board this very interesting project.” Abraham’s recent project was the comedy _Pagalpanti_ , directed by Anees Bazmee. The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar’s T-Series & Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak’s Panorama Studios, and co-produced by Vinod Bhanushali, Shiv Chanana, Aditya Chowksey, and Sanjeev Joshi.
