The Diplomat on OTT

The film's trailer was unveiled on the birth anniversary of the late Shri Sushma Swaraj, honoring her vital contributions in 2017 when she aided Indian diplomat J.P. Singh in repatriating India’s daughter. This political thriller sets the tone for a gripping narrative, emphasizing that diplomacy and negotiation are the true weapons of the protagonist, rather than conflict. The Diplomat is scheduled to premiere in theaters on March 14, 2025.

Once the film's theatrical engagement concludes, it has already secured a streaming platform. According to the distribution agreement linked to the theatrical release, The Diplomat will be available on Netflix following its time in cinemas. Although the precise streaming release date has yet to be announced, based on the typical release window, the film is anticipated to be accessible on OTT approximately 90 days after its theatrical launch.

In discussing the film, John Abraham remarked, "Diplomacy is a battlefield where words carry more weight than weapons. Portraying J.P. Singh allowed me to delve into a realm where power is characterized by intellect, resilience, and understated heroism. Uzma’s story exemplifies India’s strength and bravery, and I am honored to bring this inspiring narrative to the screen."

Director Shivam Nair remarked, "The Diplomat serves as a homage to the often-overlooked heroes who employ strategy and patience in safeguarding their nation. Through the narrative of J.P. Singh, we illustrate the essence of diplomacy—where tact prevails over force—and John’s portrayal truly captures this essence of resilience and strength."

This film represents a new direction for John Abraham, as he takes on a role that is deeply entrenched in strategy, intellect, and negotiation, presenting a strong-willed and dynamic character unlike any he has portrayed previously. Scheduled for release on March 14, 2025, 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), along with Sameer Dixit, Jatish Varma, and Rakesh Dang (Fortune Pictures/Seeta Films).
