John Abraham To Score A Hat-Trick With Romeo Akbar Walter After Parmanu - The Story of Pokharan And Satyameva Jayate?

Will Romeo Akbar Walter turn out to be a hat-trick film for John Abraham? Well, that could indeed turn out to be the case, what with the actor coming fresh from back to back success of Parmanu - The Pokharan Story and Satyameva Jayate last year.

"Yes, 2018 was really special for him since John saw good commercial successes with both his releases," comments an observer, "Parmanu - The Story of Pokharan had faced so many troubles en route release and arrived with just 10 days of promotion. Still, it did so well. The film was critically acclaimed and also earned good moolah. Moreover, John was appreciated quite well for his understated yet powerful act."

However, all flood gates opened with Satyameva Jayate hit the screens.

"The film took a bumper opening of 20.52 crore and that too after clashing with Akshay Kumar's Gold on the Independence Day arrival," the observer continues, "That film pretty much upped the stardom of John Abraham. It ultimately emerged as a solid Hit."

No wonder, now that John Abraham is gearing up for Romeo Akbar Walter, all eyes are on whether he would end up scoring a hat-trick with the film. After all, just like Parmanu - The Story of Pokharan, even Romeo Akbar Walter is based on true events. The patriotic flavor is another common element between the two films. Moreover, John is yet again getting into this subtle understated avtar, though unlike Parmanu, this one has him upping the heroic quotient by some notches due to the film's far more commercial appeal.

"This isn't a kind of film though which takes a huge opening on the very first day. You can't expect a Satyameva Jayate redux here as it doesn't have a 'Dilbar' kind of a situation out there which entices the masses. It is more in a Parmanu - The Story of Pokharan zone which means there should be a decent opening to begin with and then everything boiling down to how the word of mouth takes it through," an insider comments.

As was the case with Parmanu - The Story of Pokharan, it had started with a 4.82 crore opening, only to end up with a 65 crore lifetime. Rest assured, the makers of Romeo Akbar Walter would be content if their film follows a similar trajectory.
