John Abraham, who was last seen in Vedaa, has captured the audience’s attention again with his latest political action thriller, The Diplomat. Released on March 14, 2025, the film has surprisingly performed decently at the box office. With its positive reception and good word of mouth, it raises the question of whether this success will spill over to his next film, Tehran.
The Diplomat’s Box Office Performance So Far
The Diplomat made a promising start with Rs 4 crore on its opening Friday. Over the weekend, it earned Rs 14 crore, surpassing the opening figures of John Abraham’s previous film, Vedaa, which earned Rs 9.55 crore in its first three days. The movie’s decent performance at the box office reflects its solid reception, with cinegoers showing a good amount of interest. With a mix of action and political intrigue, The Diplomat has resonated with the audience, especially in its genre, which sets a positive tone for future releases by the actor.
Will Tehran Benefit From The Diplomat’s Success?
Looking ahead, all eyes are now on Tehran, a political thriller set in Iran, which stars John Abraham alongside Manushi Chhillar. The strong reception of The Diplomat bodes well for the success of Tehran, especially since both films share similar themes of political intrigue and action. If The Diplomat continues to perform well, it could pave the way for a strong opening for Tehran, as John Abraham’s potential to deliver successful ventures in this genre has been proven.

Additionally, Tehran is backed by Maddock Films, a production house known for its blockbusters like Stree 2 and Chhaava. The production house’s track record, combined with the buzz surrounding the film, further strengthens the case for a successful opening. The geopolitical theme of Tehran also positions it well to generate interest, particularly if it is released around a festival to maximize its audience reach.
The Road Ahead for Tehran
While The Diplomat is still in cinemas, its performance sets a promising stage for Tehran. The strong word of mouth, coupled with Maddock Films’ backing and the growing interest in political thrillers, makes Tehran a highly anticipated film. If it follows in the footsteps of The Diplomat, it could enjoy a strong opening and a successful run at the box office.
With the success of The Diplomat, all eyes are now on John Abraham’s next film, and the expectations are high for Tehran to deliver a similar, if not better, performance.
Stay tuned for more updates on the box office performance of these exciting releases!
