Top 10 Most Awaited Action Movies Of 2018

3. Parmanu – The Story of Pokhran

Parmanu is an upcoming edge of the seat thriller action movie featuring John Abraham in the leading role. He is rumoured to be playing the role of an army man. Diana Penty stars opposite him. Boman Irani has a major role in the movie as well. The movie is based on the nuclear bomb test explosions conducted by the Indian Army at Pokhran in 1998 during the Prime Ministership of Atal Behari Vajpayee. It has been helmed by Abhishek Sharma of the ‘Tere Bin Laden’ fame. The script was written by Saiwyn Quardas who had also written the scripts for Mary Kom and Neerja. Parmanu is being produced under the banners of Zee Studio, JA Entertainment and KriArj Entertainment. The movie was scheduled to be released on 8th December but was then pushed back due to its clash at the box office with Padmavati, which ironically did not end up releasing at all. It is now scheduled to be released on 23rd February, 2018.

John Abraham had a quiet 2017 with no release throughout the year as he was working on Parmanu – the story of Pokhran. He has managed to create a niche for himself in the edge of the seat thriller genre playing an army guy or a cop. And with years and movies, he has actually gotten quite good at the roles that he has been portraying. He had 4 releases in 2016 with Dishoom, Wazir, Rocky Handsome and Force 2. He hit the bull’s eye with Force 2 as it was a runaway commercial success. Rocky Handsome too was a decent movie loosely based on the Hollywood flick, John Wick.

Diana Penty on the other hand has been very choosy when it comes to the movies she takes up. She has had just 2 releases till date. Her first movie, Cocktail was a runaway success. After a 3 year hiatus, she returned with ‘Happy Bhaag Jaayegi’ in 2016 which performed decently at the box office. It would be interesting to see if her 3rd movie, Parmanu – the story of Pokhran does as well as her first.
