Bollywood star John Abraham’s long-awaited political thriller ‘The Diplomat’ has received a new release date. The movie will now hit the theaters on March 14, 2025, coinciding with the Holi weekend. Earlier the film was about to release on March 7, 2025.
Directed by Shivam Nair, the film features John Abraham as JP Singh. Singh is a keen-minded diplomat trapped in a high-stakes international mission. Confirmed in an Instagram post by trade analyst, Taran Adarsh, the delay is to ensure the movie will have an audience during the festival period.

‘The Diplomat’ Details
‘The Diplomat’ will be that political drama where wit and shrewdness take precedence over brute force. The film tells the story of a critical mission that will put the protagonist under a reluctant test of skill, fortitude, and patriotic devotion. If the protagonist created by John Abraham does achieve something special, that should be regarded as a real departure from this action-hero set of priorities into a territory we can characterize as stylishly diplomatic.

‘Bharat’, a song that graces the release date announcement, promotes India’s unity and strength. Originally composed by A.R. Rahman, the song has been recreated by Manan Bhardwaj, with moving lyrics penned by Manoj Muntashir and sung by the legendary Hariharan.
The character of John Abraham
Reflecting on his character, John Abraham asserted, “Diplomacy is a battle. Words matter more than weapons.” Playing JP Singh gave me a glimpse into a world where intellect, resilience, and quiet heroism define true power.
Director Shivam Nair echoed similar sentiments, that the film is a tribute. Reports indicate that, in the buildup to its release, an impressive trailer is creating a lot of hype about a daring rescue operation in which John’s man undertakes an adventure to rescue the ‘Daughter of India’ from captivity.
The portrayal of JP Singh aims to shed light on the unsung heroes who use strategy and patience instead of aggression to achieve their objectives.
