It’s a mission to save India, and actor Vidyut Jammwal has got an idea. The trailer of Vidyut’s debut production venture IB71 was launched on Monday and claims to chronicle the story of a mission that was “hidden for 50 years”.

The patriotic spy thriller is billed as an “untold story based on true events”, where IB agent Dev, played by Vidyut, is on a top-secret mission to save the nation from an attack by Pakistan. The two-minute trailer showcases Vidyut coming up with an impossible plan of blocking the air space, in order to avert the supposed attack from the neighbouring nation, with the help of 30 agents.

IB 71 also stars Anupam Kher and Vishal Jethwa of Mardaani fame in prominent roles. “IB71 is a story about the most classified mission that gave us an advantage in the 1971 Indo Pak war. I am thrilled to bring this story of our IB (Intelligence Bureau) officers who are the true unsung heroes of India,” Vidyut Jammwal said in a statement.

IB71 is helmed by Sankalp Reddy, who had previously directed The Ghazi Attack. The director said IB 71 is “yet another story that helped us win the 1971 Indo-Pak war.”

“I was shocked when Vidyut came to me with this story. I really appreciate the way Vidyut has stepped out of his comfort zone for this film and decided to take up an unconventional role for the first time. I am glad that I got an opportunity to work with such powerful performers such as Anupam Sir , Vishal Jethwa and a great ensemble with promising roles in the film,” he added.

IB71 marks Vidyut Jammwal’s first movie as a producer with his production house – Action Hero Films, along with T- Series and Reliance Entertainment. The film is slated for a theatrical release on May 12.
