Vidyut Jammwal, in an exclusive Pinkvilla interview with Himesh Mankad, was asked about the kind of action he would like to do next, since he is known to experiment with action. Every film of his, be it the films in the Commando franchise, the Khuda Haafiz franchise or Junglee, has had Vidyut perform a range of different stunts and master different stuntforms. The actor replied by talking about his next film after IB 71, Crakk, which is still under production. He said, "It's the first extreme sport film out of India, ever. And it is authentic and it's about the extreme sport athletes. So we have finished 60 percent of it." He agreed that it is something very new for him and said that it is something very new for the audiences to watch, too. Later on in the interview, Vidyut said that he would get back to shooting for Crakk, after the release of IB 71 and only then will he decide what he next wishes to work on. Crakk co-stars Jacqueline Fernandez and Arjun Rampal and looks to be like a very exciting film.
