The Diplomat<\/em> is a political thriller film by Shivam Nair, led by John Abraham. The film is based on real events exploring themes of India-Pakistan relations, diplomacy, and the personal conflicts raging between the diplomats.<\/p>\n

The film has been receiving a positive response from the audience and critics alike.<\/p>\n

In conversation with Pinkvilla, John revealed how the film was rejected by OTT platforms because they thought it was not good enough.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He said, “The loss of faith happens from the studio. So when a studio sees a film it goes and does a round of OTTs, because a studio may want to mitigate the risk by sending it to an OTT channel. Some OTT channels have refused The Diplomat<\/em> because they didn’t find it great. They didn’t find it good. They rejected the film; they threw it out.”<\/p>\n

John further revealed that no one had any expectations from The Diplomat<\/em>, and how the film’s reception has proved the studios and OTT platforms who rejected the film, wrong.<\/p>\n

The actor added, “The best thing about The Diplomat<\/em>…is expectations of every one were zero. So, from zero, when you don’t go to a two-three, but you go straight to a 10, people are like, ‘Oh, wow, this is crazy.’ I have people coming and telling me, ‘Does this studio know that they have got the best film in the last ten years under their belt?’ That’s a victory for me.”<\/p>\n

The film is produced by John’s JA Entertainment along with T-Series, Rakesh Dang of Seeta Films, Vipul D Shah, Ashwin Varde, Rajesh Bahl of Wakaoo Films, and Sameer Dixit and Jatish Varma of Fortune Pictures. It was released in theatres on March 14, 2025.
