Bollywood action star and film producer Vidyut Jammwal, whose latest release ‘Ib 71’ has hit the screens, spoke about why patriotic films give a tough competition to genres such as action, romance and comedy.
In conversation, Vidyut, who comes from an army background said: “It has emotions. Everyone has different tastes but when it comes to the love for the country it’s the same for all.”
He added: “I have arguments with my close friends whether they believe they are more patriotic than me, or I am more patriotic than them. So this is an emotion which is universal. That’s the only reason it works.”
Directed by the National-Award winning filmmaker Sankalp Reddy, ‘Ib 71’ tells the story of the Ganga hijack of 1971, which helped India gain a strategic advantage over Pakistan.
