The experience of screening John Abraham-starrer “RAW” (Romeo Akbar Walter), for Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) chief Anil Kumar Dhasmana and other officers was “surreal” for the film’s director Robbie Grewal.

A host of RAW officers and their family members attended the screening, arranged before the film’s release on Friday, read a statement from the filmmakers.

John Abraham’s Romeo Akbar Walter Was Screened For Real RAW Officers & Their Families!

An espionage thriller based in the era of 1971, the film is a tribute to the nameless and faceless men and women who operate behind enemy lines. Writer-director Robbie Grewal and actor Jackie Shroff who plays the RAW chief in the film were present at the screening.

Jackie said: “It was an honour to be amongst the real heroes of our country. I was petrified to meet the real heroes and their families; whether they would accept me as the reel chief. I was relieved when I heard them say, ‘You were perfect to the T’.”
