Orlando Bloom’s upcoming film, Retaliation that has a massive Indian connect, is all set for release in the US on July 24. Starring Bloom as Malky, it is a gritty revenge drama, which features him as a demolition worker.

Directed by the acclaimed Shammasian brothers, Paul and Ludwig, Retaliation has been produced by noted Indian producer Sheetal Talwar’s Vistaar Film Fund along with TeaShop & Film Company, and is co-produced by Zee Studios International.

Speaking about the film's release in the US, Talwar says, “Retaliation is a very special journey for us. The film is so relevant today and Orlando has done a fantastic job as expected from an actor of his caliber.”

Talking about the release in India, Talwar adds, “We are waiting to see when theatres open here in India and a decision about the release will be taken post that. In an ideal scenario, we would like a theatrical release.”

Amit Goenka, CEO - International Broadcast Business and ZEE5 Global, says, “We at ZEE are happy to back this project and hope that fans of Orlando Bloom enjoy him stepping into a different role.” 

National award-winning filmmaker Bhavna Talwar and renowned industry professional Bimal Parekh are executive producers on the project.

Retaliation deals with the subject of sexual abuse within a church. The film, which was earlier titled Romans, has been much talked about for its superlative performances, and Bloom's co-star Anne Reid won a prize for Best Performance in a British Feature at the 2017 Edinburgh Film Festival.
