John Abraham’s geopolitical action thriller “Tehran” is allegedly moving towards digital release rather than being released in theaters, as there was a lot of expectations and speculation of the film to appear on the big screen. The film has allegedly found a place on the streaming platform ZEE5 (Ottplay Premium), and is produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Madock Films. Manushi Chillar is also playing an important role in the film.
A source close to the production indicated that Tehran is likely to be released on the OTT platform next month.Inner source revealed“The film’s team is considering releasing Tehran on 2025 Independence Day. A final decision will be taken in a few days, after which the official announcement will be made.The 90 -minute long film is allegedly prepared well and is one of the most exciting release of this year on OTT.
Earlier, John Abraham’s last release “The Diplomat” was released in theaters in March earlier this year and was surprisingly successful at the box office, despite almost zero promotion. Made in the alleged budget of Rs 20 crore, the film earned Rs 40.30 crore in India and Rs 53.14 crore at the global box office.
After the release of the film and its amazing success, John said in an interview that the studio supporting “The Diplomat” was lost in it and he also revealed that the OTT platform also refused to purchase for its screening after its release in theaters.
After the slow success of “The Diplomat”, it was expected that things would be easier for John Abraham’s next release “Tehran”, however, a new report claimed that this thriller produced by Madock Films is no longer free of OTT premiere.

Why OTT is more suitable
“Tehran is a straightforward geopolitical thriller and is made on the lines of an international film,” an industry knowledgeer spoke about the decision to release on digital directly instead of the film’saters. He added, “Its duration is less than two hours and in addition, it is not just a Hindi language film. To maintain authenticity, some dialogues are also in Persian and English. Therefore, the manufacturers felt that it would be more suitable for the OTT medium.”
The thing to make “Tehran” so special is that it is a chance to act in John Abraham’s first OTT original feature film. The actor had so far avoided stepping into the digital world, unlike many of his colleagues. During the epidemic, his construction project, Sardar Ka Grandson (2021), was released directly on Netflix. The film also featured Arjun Kapoor, Rakul Preet Singh and Neena Gupta. However, he did only one cameo in it.
