EXCLUSIVE! John Abraham on The Diplomat: Is it getting nominated for the National award; here's what he had to say | Not Just Bollywood
John Abraham plays the role of diplomat JP Singh, a man of few words but strong-headed and knows his job like the back of his hand.
In the The Diplomat which is now showing on Netflix, John Abraham had mentioned in an EXCLUSIVE interview with Firstpost just after it's theatrical release, he had mentioned, 'People think since it's my film, he is going to fight, beat people and throw people. We did none of them. There wasn't a single scene where we went over the top.'

WATCH the full video interview with John Abraham on The Diplomat here:
A very engaging espionage film, The Diplomat deals with finer details of diplomacy. It is not a typical high-octane action packed drama where we see John flexing his muscles, it is indeed far from it where he is shown as a very firm, sorted and no-nonsense diplomat. It tells the real life story of Uzma Ahmed who was forced to get married and held captive by her husband in Pakistan's Buner in 2017.
Considering it is a very different film for John Abraham where he didn't get a chance to flex his muscles, he said 'The script of The Diplomat enamoured me and I fell in love with it. Each and every character in this film has an arc. It's a laborious process and what came out was beautiful at the end. I think the film deserves to be one of the nominees for the National award. I feel India should make more films like this.'
Directed by Shivam Nair, The Diplomat featuring John Abraham as JP Singh and Sadia Khateeb as Uzma Ahmed is an engaging real-life story which will give you shivers down your spine.
The Diplomat is in fact John Abraham's career best performance. Directed by Shivam Nair with John Abraham and Sadia Khateeb as leads, the movie revolves around the real-life story of Uzma Ahmed's (Sadia Khateeb) brave escape from Pakistan with the help of JP Singh (John Abraham).

His new car, worth Rs 81.37 lakh, has become the centre of attention, with fans calling it a dream ride. Many admirers expressed their love and respect for his grand entry in the luxury car. Ishaan's Cannes debut Meanwhile, Ishaan recently made his debut at the prestigious 78th Cannes Film Festival, where his film Homebound—also featuring Vishal Jethwa and Janhvi Kapoor—was screened in the Un Certain Regard section. Ranveer Singh buys a whopping Rs 3 crore luxury car, takes it for a spin in Mumbai About 'The Royals' On the professional front, Ishaan was last seen in 'The Royals', directed by Priyanka Ghose and Nupur Asthana, and written by Neha Veena Sharma. The series also starred Bhumi Pednekar , Zeenat Aman, Sakshi Tanwar, Nora Fatehi, Vihaan Samat, Dino Morea, and Milind Soman in key roles. However, it received mixed reviews from audiences and critics due to its weak scripting and casting choices. In an interview with ETimes, Priyanka Ghose responded to the ongoing criticism surrounding Bhumi Pednekar's role in the series. 'I still stand by the decision to cast her because I think it was a great call from my team. My producers and Netflix sensed that Bhumi is someone they could approach for something like this. She's the queen of heartland India and has always taken on extremely intense, serious, and emotionally heavy stories and roles. So, we felt Bhumi would be open to something lighter,' she stated.

NDTV Exclusive: Rana Daggubati On Rana Naidu Season 2 - "It's A Biopic"
Netflix's breakout series Rana Naidu is set to return with a second season. Directed by Karan Anshuman, the upcoming season features Rana Daggubati, Kriti Kharbanda, Arjun Rampal and Venkatesh in key roles. In an exclusive interview with NDTV, Rana, Kriti and Karan offered a glimpse into their much-anticipated series. Drawing parallels between his character as a fixer and his real-life experiences as a producer, Rana mentioned the show as a dark biopic of his life. The actor said, "I haven't said this before, but this show is actually a biopic in some sense. It's like a dark reality of my real life." He added, "In India, we work in entertainment, we work in the media in some form, which is a very unstructured style. We are a country that has 10-12 different industries. We speak many more languages than that. In this structure, you have to be fluid to be able to fix things constantly. There will always be trouble, you will always have to fix things that's always a parallel with the show." For Kriti Kharbanda, Rana Naidu Season 2 is a very "exciting" project, allowing her to show a very different side of her to the audience. The actress said, "I was extremely excited about doing this (Rana Naidu Season 2). I couldn't sleep the night before my first day. It was very exciting for me because no one has ever offered me something like this. "It's very contrasting to how I look, the kind of characters I have played. It's very contrasting to the kind of person I am in real life. For me, that was so exciting that finally someone's offering me something different. That was just amazing," she added. Rana Daggubati also talked about attending WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas. "That was pretty awesome, actually. All thanks to Netflix. It's the first time I have been there. I spent two nights at WrestleMania and one day at Raw. All my childhood came back in one shot in a very lively world. It was pretty exciting," the actor said. When asked about his favourite moment from the event, he shared, "'Stone Cold' Steve Austin coming and breaking bottles on his head, that was pretty iconic." Coming back to Rana Naidu, Rana Daggubati explained Season 1 to be a story about a "dysfunctional family that couldn't put anything together". Picking up from where it left off, the new season will revolve around the "dysfunctional family trying to get functional and see if normal order can come in their life but the past catches up," concluded Daggubati. Rana Naidu Season 2 will release on June 13 on Netflix.
