and a host of other

RAW officers

. In a first for any Bollywood film, 'RAW' was screened before the film’s release for the officers and their families. An espionage thriller based in the period of 1971, the film is a tribute to the nameless and faceless men and women who operate behind enemy lines.

Writer-director Robbie Grewal was present at the screening with Jackie Shroff, who plays the RAW chief in the film. He informs, “My film is a tribute to these officers and so, it was a surreal experience to show my film to them. It was equally gratifying to have RAW officers and their families walk up to you to acknowledge and appreciate the effort put in the film. One of the most fulfilling experiences was to meet the chief of RAW and interact with him. I was overwhelmed with the warm reception to us and the film.”

Besides Jackie, the film cast also includes John Abraham, Mouni Roy, Sikandar Kher, Suchitra Krishnamoorthi and Raghubir Yadav in pivotal roles. 'Romeo Akbar Walter (RAW)' is produced by Viacom18 Motion Pictures, Dheeraj Wadhawan, Ajay Kapoor, Vanessa Walia, and Gary Grewal.
