John had earlier announced the film and tweeted the poster in February this year. “Get set for an action packed Republic Day 2023. Thrilled to announce my next, #Tehran! Directed by #ArunGopalan, produced by #DineshVijan, @ShobhnaYadava, @LeyzellSandeep. Written by @writish & @ashishpverma.@MaddockFilms @bakemycakefilms,” he wrote.

Talkin about the film, he had told Pinkvilla in an interview in April, “It is very Madras Café meets Batla House meets Parmanu. It’s in the geo-political space and I am so excited to start shooting for Tehran. I would probably be the first actor out of India to be shooting in Iran. I am very excited to be there.”

He added that his mom has 21 cousins in Iran, and will therefore take her to the shoot. “If you’re invested in the Russia-Ukraine crisis, wonder what China is doing, what Iran is doing, where does Palestine fit in this whole thing, Tehran is about all of this. It’s a stunning film.”

John is getting ready for the release of Mohit Suri’s EK Villain Returns after most recently appearing in Attack, which received harsh criticism. Tara Sutaria, Disha Patani, and Arjun Kapoor are also featured in the movie, which is scheduled for a July 29 theatrical release. Additionally, he is developing Force 3 and a movie about bike racing.
