Action Icon Vidyut Jammwal Reunites With 'Commando 3' Director For Extreme Sports Action Film 'Crakk'

Mumbai, October 20 - The successful Commando 3 combo of actor Vidyut Jammwal and director Aditya Datt are all set to reunite for their second film, titled Crakk - Jeetegaa Toh Jiyegaa!.

The film also stars Arjun Rampal and Jacqueline Fernandez in pivotal roles and is written & directed by Aditya Datt ("Table No. 21"). ## The movie is about the journey of a man from the slums of Mumbai to the world of extreme underground sports. ## Actor-producer Vidyut Jammwal says, "Looking at the current scenario and the way the audiences have changed, I have realized that everyone puts limits on everything they do, and it 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. Hence a movie on extreme sports from India".## Director Aditya Datt says, "After the success of 'Table No 21' back in 2012, I was told it was way ahead of its time, as it was a thriller that revolved around live-streamed games. I guess they were talking about today when time has indeed changed. 'Crakk' is a script I have been working from the last 4 years, to up the game and challenge oneself, by narrating a story that has sports, gaming, action, drama, and thrill".## The movie has commenced shooting in Poland and is scheduled to release in 2023.## Super excited for this #Crakk-ing journey! 🔥Media Release: https://t.co/VK9bFOATbJ@Asli_Jacqueline @rampalarjun @adidatt @RelianceEnt @ActionHeroFilm1 #PZPictures pic.twitter.com/o4yNJzOukj— Vidyut Jammwal (@VidyutJammwal) October 20, 2022 ## Stay tuned...
