John Abraham’s much-discussed film, "The Diplomat," is finally set to make its digital debut. According to recent reports, the film is scheduled to release on Netflix on May 9, 2025. Although an official announcement from the streaming giant or the production house is still awaited, the buzz around the film’s OTT debut has already caught the attention of fans.
Despite the initial challenges, the film has proven its critics wrong. John Abraham, in a recent interview with Pinkvilla, shared his experience of the film’s journey to digital release. He revealed that several platforms initially rejected the film, but eventually, it proved its worth. John expressed his satisfaction, saying, "In the case of ‘The Diplomat,’ we have proved the studio wrong, the OTTs wrong, and everyone wrong. The best thing about ‘The Diplomat’…is expectations of everyone 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.’"
The upcoming Netflix release adds to John Abraham’s impressive repertoire of films based on true stories, following titles like "Madras Cafe" and "Batla House." "The Diplomat" is expected to offer a fresh, gripping narrative centered on the unsung heroes of Indian diplomacy, further diversifying the action star’s filmography. The film features John Abraham in the role of Indian diplomat J.P. Singh and is inspired by true events. The story reportedly delves into critical diplomatic missions that shaped India’s international relations during tense global moments. Also starring Sadia Khateeb in a pivotal role, the film promises an intense blend of politics, strategy, and emotion, rooted in real incidents.
As audiences eagerly await official confirmation, "The Diplomat" is shaping up to be a compelling watch for those who enjoy political dramas with real-world relevance.
