Tehran, the upcoming Geopolitical thriller featuring John Abraham and Manushi Chillar in lead roles, is generating anticipation ever since its announcement. Helmed by Arun Gopalan, the film is set to stream
on the OTT giant Zee5 on August 14. Backed by Maddock Films, Tehran unfolds amid rising global tensions between Israel and Iran. It goes into the mysterious world of international espionage, where a single man’s allegiance can tip the scales between loyalty and betrayal.
As fans await to see John and Manushi together for the first time, let’s take a closer look at who plays what in the action-thriller:
John Abraham
In Tehran, John Abraham will portray ACP Rajiv Kumar, an officer divided between duty and conscience. Rajiv is concerned with international espionage and the geopolitical conflicts between Iran and Israel. He gets caught in the crossfire of political objectives and is forced to alter alliances, all while his own loyalty is called into doubt.
Manushi Chillar
Manushi, on the other hand, will be seen playing the role of SI Divya Rana. She is brave, determined, and dedicated to her words and responsibilities. Divya has everything she requires to serve the nation.
Neeru Bajwa
Punjabi actress Neeru Bajwa is also a part of Tehran, wherein she will be seen playing the role of Sheilaja. Her character is recognised as emotionally intense and complicated, representing the film’s investigation of global politics and personal views.
John Abraham On Tehran
Speaking about the film, John said in a statement, “Tehran is a truly global film, based on real-life events that resonate far beyond national borders. Playing ACP Rajeev Kumar in Tehran has been one of the most difficult and complex roles of my career, as he is not your typical nationalist. He’s a man divided between duty and conscience, and that moral dilemma is what makes this story so captivating. This film isn’t about good against evil; it’s about navigating the grey. I’m glad to be a member of a project that dares to investigate these difficulties,” quoted by Filmibeat.
The official trailer of Tehran was recently released by the makers, receiving positive responses from fans and admirers.
