Meanwhile, the actor is actively promoting The Diplomat, which was initially slated for release on March 7 but was later pushed to March 14 to coincide with the Holi weekend. The film, inspired by real-life events, is produced by Bhushan Kumar & Krishan Kumar (T-Series), John Abraham (JA Entertainment), Wakaoo Films, and Fortune Pictures/Seeta Films.
With The Diplomat generating buzz for its gripping narrative and John’s portrayal of a high-stakes diplomatic mission, the meeting with Jaishankar has further piqued fans curiosity about the film’s themes of international relations and negotiation.
