MUMBAI: Multivision Multimedia, an independent distribution house in the Indian subcontinent, will be releasing The Expendables 2 in India on 24 August.

The film is a re-union of the old-school mercenaries, where the team is compelled to seek revenge when one of their brothers is viciously killed. Hell-bent on payback, the crew cuts a swath of destruction through opposing forces, wreaking havoc and shutting down an unexpected threat in the nick of time.

The film, produced by Danny Lerner, Les Weldon, Avi Lerner and Kevin-King Templeton and directed by Simon West, features Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Chuck Norris, Jean Claude Van Damme, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Liam Hemsworth, Scott Adkins, Amanda Ooms and Charisma Carpenter among others.

The film was shot in Bulgaria late 2011 and its principal photography was completed in Hong Kong and New Orleans early this year.

The film will be released in more than 800 screens across the country in four different languages.
