Meanwhile, John Abraham is busy promoting ‘The Diplomat’. Recently, Abraham shared what drew him to the film, describing it as an “emotional, edge-of-your-seat psychological thriller” rather than just another patriotic story.

He said, “I didn’t do the film just because it’s patriotic; I did it because it’s an emotional, edge-of-your-seat psychological thriller”.

Comparing it to the film ‘Argo’, the actor added, “It’s like a film called ‘Argo’. If you watch that film, it’s a true story about the US Embassy in Iran and how they had to get people out. You won’t move when you watch that film; you’ll just be glued to your seat. That feeling is what I got from ‘The Diplomat’.”

Initially slated for release on March 7, the film hit theatres a week later, on March 14, coinciding with the Holi weekend. ‘The Diplomat’ is produced by Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar (T-Series), John Abraham (JA Entertainment), Vipul D Shah, Ashwin Varde, Rajesh Bahl (Wakaoo Films), and Sameer Dixit, Jatish Varma, Rakesh Dang (Fortune Pictures/Seeta Films).
