John Abraham returned to the big screen with his movie ‘The Diplomat’, which will soon arrive on OTT. The movie focuses on a real-life diplomat JP Singh, whose life takes a turn when Uzma Ahmed, a woman seeking refuge, arrives at the embassy. She claims to be an Indian citizen who was abducted and forced to marry a Pakistani man. The Diplomat received a good response critically but struggled to survive at the box office.
The Diplomat OTT Release Date:
According to the website Binged, The Diplomat will release on Netflix on May 9, 2025.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, John talked about how the high cost is affecting the Hindi film industry. He shared, “It’s already hurting Hindi cinema. We [actors] don’t justify those huge budgets and the huge fees that we get paid.”
“We can’t load a film with an entourage cost as well, it’s ridiculous. I don’t know if the actor is not thinking, or their agent is making them think different,” he added.
The movie also stars Sadia Khateeb, Kumud Mishra, Sharib Hashmi and Revathy.
