Action has been a favourite genre in Hindi cinema. Larger-than-life situations, high-octane drama, and thrilling stunt sequences with a swashbuckling hero in the lead, the thrill of watching an actioner is unmatched. Even today, action films enjoy a strong fan following and film-makers are going all out in exploring the genre. The latest one to join the list is the Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer Anek, the trailer for which released recently. Set amid the political conflicts in Northeast India, it tells the story of a spy agent and his attempt at achieving and maintaining peace. Slated to release on May 27th, the political action thriller also stars Kumud Mishra and Manoj Pahwa.
