Exclusive: John Abraham learnt Farsi and Hebrew for Tehran, shares emotional link
John Abraham is known for his intense performances and commitment to his roles. But his upcoming film 'Tehran' holds a special place in his heart for reasons that go far beyond the film. In an exclusive conversation with India Today, the actor opened up about the emotional and cultural depth he brought to this international espionage thriller, starting with a personal connection rooted in his own heritage and his connection with Iran and the Farsi language, John said, 'This is emotionally the first thing that I've done for Tehran. My mother is Iranian, and the script was very close to my heart. My mother, of course, speaks Farsi. That's the national language of Iran. I could barely understand a few words here and there, because when you're growing up, your mother speaks to you a little in Farsi, a bit of Dari just mixes up words and stuff like that.'Driven by his desire to portray his character with cultural authenticity, John decided to learn Farsi from scratch. He explained further, 'I wanted to learn Farsi. So I learned Farsi for six months for 'Tehran'. I wanted to get the dialect right. I didn't want to go wrong on anything.' But the challenge didn't stop there. The film demanded more. Abraham added, 'It's got a lot of Farsi in it. It's got a lot of Hebrew in it. So I learned Hebrew as well. But you don't learn it just to prove a point. It has to flow into the script, and it has to come very easily on your tongue.'Luckily, he said, his roots gave him a natural advantage, saying, 'Because my mother's an Irani, it was easier for me on my tongue. So I'd probably get that benefit that I kind of rolled over onto the film. But it was a beautiful process.'Watch the trailer here: John describes 'Tehran' as a one-hour-49-minute cinematic experience that's unlike anything India has produced before. 'I would want to believe it's the first international film out of India,' he actor further recalled how life on set mirrored the hopeful possibility of unity in the time of war. 'When you talk about world problems, we were all eating at the same table,' he says, adding, "There was an Iranian, there was an Israeli, there was a Dutch person, there was a Ukrainian, and there was me. We were all eating at the same table, just like 'Kabul Express'.''Tehran' will begin to stream on ZEE5 from August 14.- EndsTrending Reel
