Earlier, in an interview with India Today, John spoke about Tehran. He expressed gratitude to the Ministry of External Affairs for allowing his film to be shown. "I don't think this film (Tehran) would have passed to be shown in theatres, to be very honest. I'm grateful to the Ministry of External Live," he said.
The actor further opened up about the trend of politically-charged movies. "What worries me is when right-wing films find a huge audience. That's when you ask yourself, as a filmmaker, what line am I going to tow - Am I going to take the commercial route to make more money, or stay true to what I want to say? I’ve chosen the latter. In 'Tehran', this is not a patriotic film, it’s set in 2012 - but it shows India as it was. My trailer even says it: ‘India has deserted me'," he added.
