SCOOP: “Tehran” Set to Premiere on Zee5 This August
Since the last few days, excitement has been building around the upcoming action thriller Tehran, starring John Abraham and Manushi Chhillar, which is set to make its debut on an OTT platform. Produced by Maddock Films, led by the renowned Dinesh Vijan, the film is expected to premiere on Zee5, with a tentative release date of August 15. This marks a significant milestone as it will be John Abraham’s first direct release on a streaming service.
Expected Premiere on Zee5
Sources indicate that *Tehran* is likely to premiere on Zee5, although an official announcement is still pending. The film’s release date has not been finalized, but insiders suggest that clarity on the schedule will emerge within the next week to ten days. The choice to release *Tehran* directly on a streaming platform stems from its unique nature as a geopolitical thriller. The film has a runtime of under two hours and includes dialogues in Farsi and English, which the makers believe will resonate better with audiences on OTT.
John Abraham’s First OTT Release
*Tehran* will be a groundbreaking project for John Abraham, marking his first full-fledged role in an OTT release. While many actors have embraced streaming platforms, Abraham has largely stayed away until now. His previous production, *Sardar Ka Grandson*, was released on Netflix during the COVID-19 pandemic, but he only appeared in a cameo. With *Tehran*, he steps into the spotlight as a leading actor on a digital platform for the first time.
Production and Background
Directed by Arun Gopalan, *Tehran* is produced by Dinesh Vijan along with Sandeep Leyzell and Shobhna Yadav from Bake My Cake Films. The film draws inspiration from true events and features Madhurima Tuli in a significant role. Filming took place in various locations, including Glasgow, Mumbai, and Delhi, throughout 2022. Initially, *Tehran* was slated for a theatrical release on January 25, 2023, but plans changed due to the simultaneous release of John Abraham’s high-profile film *Pathaan*, which stars Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone.
Previous Release Plans and Future Prospects
There were earlier discussions about a potential release for *Tehran* in May, but those plans did not materialize. The film’s trajectory has seen several shifts, reflecting the dynamic nature of the film industry, especially in the wake of the pandemic. As the release date approaches, anticipation continues to grow among fans eager to see how this geopolitical thriller unfolds on the OTT platform. With its unique storyline and Abraham’s involvement, *Tehran* is poised to make a significant impact in the digital entertainment landscape.
