Tehran is positioned to appeal to fans of intense political dramas as well as action enthusiasts thanks to its captivating premise, stellar cast, and well-timed digital release.

John Abraham’s political action thriller Tehran, directed by Arun Gopalan, opted for a direct-to-digital release on ZEE5, skipping the traditional theatrical run. In an added treat for fans, the film has now begun streaming on Netflix as well, significantly expanding its digital footprint.

This step is a component of a broader rollout strategy to guarantee that the film reaches a more diverse and extensive audience across all platforms.

Inspired by the attacks on Israeli diplomats in 2012, Tehran combines powerful performances with an engrossing story. Neeru Bajwa and Manushi Chhillar play important roles in the movie alongside John Abraham, and Madhurima Tuli, Alyy Khan, and Elnaaz Norouzi provide a lot of support for the ensemble cast.



The fact that Dinesh Vijan is producing the movie under the Maddock Films banner in collaboration with Shobhna Yadav and Sandeep Leyzell of Bake My Cake Films lends the project even more legitimacy.
