John Abraham Reveals First Poster and Release Date for Upcoming Thriller ‘The Diplomat’

After delivering a string of box office disappointments with films like Satyameva Jayate 2 and Ek Villain Returns, John Abraham redeemed himself with a captivating performance as the antagonist, Jim, in this year’s blockbuster Pathaan. While the film primarily revolved around Shah Rukh Khan’s much-awaited comeback, John’s portrayal garnered high praise from critics and audiences alike. With Pathaan boosting his market value once again, all eyes are now on his upcoming movie, The Diplomat.

The Diplomat is touted as a high-octane thriller, with John essaying the role of a high-ranking government official. Based on true events, the actor recently unveiled the first poster of the film along with its release date. The Diplomat is set to hit theatres on January 11 next year. In an accompanying caption, John wrote, “Some wars are fought even outside the battlefield.”

However, the makers of The Diplomat have taken a risk by scheduling its release on the same day as Prabhas’ highly anticipated sci-fi action thriller, Project K. Directed by Nag Ashwin, Project K is also slated for a January 11 release, setting the stage for a box office clash. While both films hold considerable promise, it will be interesting to see how The Diplomat fares against the buzz surrounding Project K.

Helmed by director Shivam Nair, known for his work on films and web series like Naam Shabana, Special OPS, and Mukhbir, The Diplomat aims to captivate audiences with its gripping storyline. The screenplay is penned by Ritesh Shah, adding further intrigue to the project. The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar from T-Series, along with John Abraham under his banner of JA Entertainment, Vipul D Shah, Ashwin Varde, and Rajesh Bahl of Wakaoo Films.

Notably, John Abraham is no stranger to portraying characters based on real-life events. His filmography includes notable projects such as Madras Cafe, Batla House, Shootout at Wadala, and Parmanu, all of which were inspired by true incidents. Now, with his increased marketability following his impactful performance in Pathaan, fans are eager to see if The Diplomat can capitalize on John’s renewed popularity and hold its ground against Project K at the box office.

As the release date approaches, anticipation mounts for The Diplomat, with audiences eagerly awaiting its unveiling as another thrilling addition to John Abraham’s filmography.
