John Abraham rarely makes public appearances. If the actor is not out promoting a film, he will rarely make a public appearance. Even his wife, Priya Runchal, likes to maintain a low profile. The couple
is rarely spotted at Bollywood’s glamorous parties and red-carpet events. In a recent chat, John Abraham revealed that this is a conscious decision that they have taken.
Speaking to India Today, John Abraham said, “That is a very conscious decision, because my films have nothing to do with my personal life. In all these years, I have never had a publicist or an agent. I don’t have someone who is manufacturing stuff for me out there. So the minute my films are over, I become not newsworthy and I go into my shell and I come out to speak only when I have something relevant to say.”
He explained, “I never went to parties even before I got married. I have always chosen to stay out because the music is too loud, and I don’t drink alcohol. I have a problem with alcohol because my father loves his single malt. Also, I sleep very early and I wake up at 4-4:30 am. I read as much as I can after waking up, and I devour world news.”
Tehran: Cast, Release Date, Plot
Now, John Abraham is back to making appearances due to the upcoming release of his latest film, 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.
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.
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.
