Meanwhile, John Abraham is busy promoting The Diplomat.

Recently, in a conversation with ANI, 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 will now hit theatres a week later, on March 14, coinciding with the Holi weekend.

The Diplomat is produced by Bhushan Kumar & 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). (ANI)
