“Tehran” Streams on OTT platforms

There has been reports since the last couple of days Since the last two days of John Abraham-Manushi Chhillar starrer Tehran’s direct release on OTT. The Maddock Films’ backed action thriller is headed by the blockbuster producer Dinesh Vijan.
 
A source reveals that in all probability, the film is expected to premiere on Zee5. A clearer picture on this front will emerge in a week’s time or 10 days. Reports also claim, that it’ll have a release on OTT on August 15. The date is still not locked. Again, this decision will be taken no sooner after the makers make an official announcement.

Explaining the reason for releasing it directly on a streaming giant, an industry insider revealed, that “Tehran is a no-nonsense geopolitical thriller and made on the lines of an international film. It has a run time of less than two hours and moreover, it’s not just a Hindi language film. To maintain authenticity, certain dialogues are also in Farsi and English. Hence, the makers realized that it would suit the OTT medium more.”
 
Tehran makes the first-ever OTT release for John Abraham. Many actors had jumped on the OTT bandwagon but he had remained away from it until now. However, his production Sardar Ka Grandson (2021) was released directly on Netflix anidst the second wave of COVID-19. It featured Arjun Kapoor, Rakul Preet Singh and Neena Gupta in leading roles with John appearing in a cameo. Tehran will be his first OTT release as a full-fledged actor.
 
Tehran is Arun Gopalan’s directorial produced by Dinesh Vijan of Maddock Films and Sandeep Leyzell and Shobhna Yadav of Bake My Cake Films. It is inspired by true events and also features Madhurima Tuli. The geopolitical thriller was shot in 2022 across Glasgow, Mumbai and Delhi.
 
At one point film ‘Tehran’ was scheduled for theatrical release cinemas on January 25, 2023. The plan was dropped possibly as John’s big-budget extravaganza, Pathaan, co-starring Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, was also scheduled to arrive on the same day. Last year, there were murmurs that Tehran might release in the month of May but as per sources, the plan never materialized and was soon dropped.
