About The Diplomat:

The movie focuses on a real life diplomat JP Singh, whose life takes a turn when Uzma Ahmed, a woman seeking refuge, arrives at the embassy. She claims to be an Indian citizen who was abducted and forced to marry a Pakistani man. Singh has to deal with complexities of international diplomacy, legal systems, and the pressure from both the Indian and Pakistani governments to deal with the tense situation.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, John talked about how the high cost is affecting the Hindi film industry. He shared, “It’s already hurting Hindi cinema. We [actors] don’t justify those huge budgets and the huge fees that we get paid.”

“We can’t load a film with an entourage cost as well, it’s ridiculous. I don’t know if the actor is not thinking, or their agent is making them think different,” he added.

The movie also stars Sadia Khateeb, Kumud Mishra, Sharib Hashmi and Revathy.
