Vidyut Jammwal kick-started the first schedule of his new film titled IB 71 on Thursday.

The film directed by Sankalp Reddy is an espionage thriller based on a true incident of how Indian Intelligence Officers outsmarted the Pakistani establishment and gave the Indian armed forces the required advantage to face a two-front war.

IB 71 marks Vidyut's debut production venture under his banner Action Hero Films. He is backing the film in association with T-Series and Reliance Entertainment.

Talking about the film's first schedule, Vidyut Jammwal shares, "It's a new beginning for my production house Action Hero Films. I'm thrilled about backing a film that revisits a glorious chapter in history. It's a story of the brilliance of intelligence officers, whom I salute with all my heart. My team and I are grateful to have begun the year on an exciting note."

Director Sankalp Reddy says, "The shooting for IB 71 has begun in full swing. We're all pumped up about bringing its story to the audience in a way that celebrates the unsung heroes of India. Here's a film that is about to redefine what it means to be a hero. I'm happy that we're off to a great start."
