John Abraham continues his streak of patriotic dramas with Romeo Akbar Walter (RAW). It is no secret that the film was to roll in mid-2017 with Sushant Singh Rajput in the lead role. While the makers had unveiled the first look of the film with Rajput in early 2017, the actor bowed out of the commitment soon after citing date issues.

Director Robbie Grewal chooses to be optimistic about the turn of events. "It was disappointing that we weren't able to roll the film [when we intended to] due to Sushant's date problems. In hindsight, it feels like it happened for the best. It was because of the way things panned out that I ended up meeting John. I am happy to work with him because besides being a good actor, he is also an amazing human being."
