In an earlier interview, John Abraham had called Tehran a relevant geo-political film. “If you’re invested in the Russia-Ukraine crisis, wonder what China is doing, what Iran is doing, where does Palestine fit in this whole thing, Tehran is about all of this. It’s a stunning film,” he told PTI.

Based on true events, Tehran has been directed by Arun Gopalan and written by Ritesh Shah and Ashish Prakash Verma. The film is set to head to the theaters on Republic Day next year. It is also set to clash with Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone’s much-anticipated film Fighter. Interestingly, Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor’s upcoming film, directed by Luv Ranjan, is eyeing the same release date.
