I completely own and am proud of this film. I stand by the honest effort every team member has taken on Attack.”

Abhishek Bachchan, who has previously worked with John in Dhoom and Dostana, extended support to the actor. He commented, “More power to you, Baba.”

The film, which also features Jacqueline Fernandez and Rakul Preet Singh, released on April 1 to mixed reviews and a lukewarm response at the box office. As per Box Office India, the film could only collect an approx of ₹12 crore in the first five days of its release.
