The actor discussed how studios and OTT platforms reacted to his film. John stated, “The loss of faith happens from the studio. So when a studio sees a film when it goes and does a round of OTTs because a studio may want to mitigate the risk by sending it to an OTT channel when some OTT channels have refused The Diplomat because they didn’t find it great. They didn’t find it good...They rejected the film; they threw it out.”

 

He also shared how viewers who watched The Diplomat praised the film. He said, “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’. I’ve 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.”

 

Directed by Shivam Nair, The Diplomat also stars Sadia Khateeb. Inspired by real events, the film features John Abraham in the role of diplomat JP Singh. Produced by John's JA Entertainment in collaboration with T-Series, Vipul D Shah, Ashwin Varde, Rajesh Bahl of Wakaoo Films, Sameer Dixit and Jatish Varma of Fortune Pictures, and Rakesh Dang of Seeta Films, the film hit theaters on March 14.
