John Abraham says, "Collaborating with Viacom 18 Motion Pictures and KYTA Productions on RAW has been very exciting. Having worked with them in the past, I know we have the right partners with experience and strong support for this edge of the seat thriller.  It is one of my most challenging roles so far- pushing my limits with different looks, accents and personas. Robbie has made an original Indian espionage thriller with an entertaining and engaging storyline. The reactions to the three 'looks' released so far has been great; I'm looking forward to the audience take on the teaser."

Ajit Andhare – COO, Viacom18 Studios, says, "RAW is a gripping espionage drama, with an inimitable perspective of the astute director Robbie Grewal, that will keep you at the edge of your seat.

It holds great promise for contemporary audiences, and we look forward to this journey. I am extremely happy to be associating with John and Viacom 18 Motion Pictures once again and to share their passion for good, entertaining cinema."

Vanessa B Walia - Producer and Managing Director, VA Film Company quoted, "RAW has been one of the very first ventures for us at VA Film Company and thus holds a very special place in our hearts. It took a lot of hard work and dedication to portray a story unheard of a true patriot. We had to do a lot of research on the looks and feel of the film and I hope we've been successful in doing so."

 As we celebrate the freedom that our great country gives us, RAW reminds us of those who live and die to ensure that, that freedom is not comprised.
