Doha: Jason Statham starrer Hollywood action blockbuster Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre will hit the theatres on March 18, 2022. The movie was partly filmed in Doha, Qatar. Shots of Museum of Islamic Art can be seen in the trailer released few days back.

Other than Jason Statham, the Guy Ritchie directed movie stars Aubrey Plaza, Josh Hartnett, Cary Elwes, Bugzy Malone, and Hugh Grant.

“The film marks our third collaboration with Ritchie, adding to our expanding list of nearly 20 projects having been released or currently in production since beIN’s acquisition of Miramax — a testament to our continued success achieving the target goals we set forth for the studio’s evolution while remaining committed to prioritising investments in innovative and culturally relevant films,” beIN Media Group Chairman Nasser Al Khelaifi had said during the shooting of the film in Doha.

According to official synopsis of the film, super spy Orson Fortune (Jason Statham) must track down and stop the sale of a deadly new weapons technology wielded by billionaire arms broker Greg Simmonds (Hugh Grant). Reluctantly teamed with some of the world’s best operatives (Aubrey Plaza, Cary Elwes, Bugzy Malone), Fortune and his crew recruit Hollywood’s biggest movie star Danny Francesco (Josh Hartnett) to help them on their globe-trotting undercover mission to save the world.
