Anurag Kashyap praises The Diplomat, says John Abraham delivered a “Very good performance”
In an interview with The Hindu, Anurag Kashyap praised The Diplomat, saying, “I really liked The Diplomat. I told John, ‘after a long time I am seeing you being a very good actor’. He is not doing unnecessary action or herogiri in the film. He is solely playing a character. And Shivam Nair has made a really engaging film.”
He then recalled John’s response, saying, “I was congratulating John, and he again said, ‘Yaar, let’s do No Smoking 2.’”
He added, “John really means it but I want a subject. Over a period of time, a film achieves a cult following. So it becomes even more scary to meet people’s expectations. I want to go into that zone only if the subject matter is unique.”
The Diplomat also features Sadia Khateeb, Prapti Shukla, Jagjeet Sandhu, Ashwath Bhatt, Sharib Hashmi, Kumud Mishra, Ram Gopal Bajaj, and Benjamin Gilani in key roles. Directed by Shivam Nair, the film is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, John Abraham, Vipul D. Shah, Ashwin Varde, Rajesh Bahl, Samir Dixit, Jatish Varma, and Rakesh Dang.
While sharing the trailers of The Diplomat, the makers wrote on Instagram, “Jab har raasta tha band, humaarey Bharat ne ummeed ko zinda rakha. A true story of courage. Watch it unfold on the big screen. #TheDiplomatTrailer out now! Releasing worldwide on 14th March.”
