Opening up about Tehran, John Abraham recently shared that the film is for those who closely follow the Russia-Ukraine conflict and question the roles of countries like China, Iran, and Palestine in the current geopolitical landscape. Calling it a 'stunning" film, he hinted at the layered, global themes it explores.

Neeru Bajwa Talks About Her Fierce Role In Tehran: 'It's Raw And Honest'
Last Updated: Neeru Bajwa stars alongside John Abraham in Tehran, a hard-hitting action thriller releasing on ZEE5 on August 14. Neeru Bajwa is venturing into uncharted cinematic territory with Tehran, a high-stakes action thriller that explores the volatile intersections of global politics and personal conviction. Starring alongside John Abraham and Manushi Chhillar, the film marks a powerful shift in Neeru's career—one that sees her portraying a character as emotionally layered as she is fiercely resilient. Speaking about what drew her to Tehran, Neeru shared with Filmfare, 'Tehran is unlike anything I've done before. It's a gripping story that's not just action-packed but also emotionally intense and politically layered. What really got me was how strong and clear my character is—she stands her ground and stays true to herself, even when everything around her is falling apart." For the seasoned actress, the film isn't just another project—it's a statement. 'It means a lot to play a woman who is guided by her values and isn't afraid to fight for what she believes in. Tehran doesn't just aim to entertain—it really makes you think. And that's what I love about it. It's bold, relevant, and unapologetically real," she added. Neeru also emphasized the film's stripped-down honesty: 'The film doesn't try to dress things up. It's raw and honest—and I think people will really feel that." Directed by Arun Gopalan and produced by Dinesh Vijan, Shobhna Yadav, and Sandeep Leyzell, Tehran draws inspiration from real-world events. The film is set to premiere on ZEE5 on August 14, just ahead of Independence Day, promising an impactful watch with a blend of thrilling action and socio-political urgency. Neeru was recently seen in Son of Sardaar 2 opposite Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur. The film, which released last week, is enjoying a decent run at the box office. With Tehran up next, Neeru Bajwa continues to expand her cinematic palette, choosing stories that are not only compelling but also deeply resonant.

HMVL's profit, revenue surge in June quarter
Hindustan Media Ventures Ltd (HMVL), the publisher of Hindustan and the operator of digital platform OTTPlay, saw its profit after tax for the June quarter surge to ₹ 10.24 crore from ₹ 52 lakh a year earlier. Revenue from operations rose to ₹ 182.99 crore from ₹ 162.18 crore in the year-ago first quarter, HMVL said in a regulatory filing on Monday. Total expenses in the first quarter were higher at ₹ 197.94 crore versus ₹ 188.55 crore in the year-ago period. Revenue from printing and publishing of newspapers and periodicals increased to ₹ 163.35 crore from ₹ 154.35 crore a year earlier. HMVL also said it has approved an investment of up to ₹ 20.01 crore in the equity shares or convertible equity-linked instrument (compulsory convertible preference shares) of A&A Dukaan Financial Services Pvt Ltd, the parent company of financial marketplace BankBazaar. In 2022, OTTPlay, a recommendation and content discovery platform for streaming services, launched by HT Labs, turned into a streaming service featuring content from video-streaming platforms. With the launch of OTTPlay Premium, the service now hosts multiple Indian and international video streaming services, allowing subscribers to choose from language-based or thematic subscription bundles. OTTPlay has onboarded SonyLIV, ZEE5, Lionsgate Play, Sun NXT, ShemarooMe, Curiosity Stream, ShortsTV, and DocuBay streaming services, besides international brands Hallmark Movies Now, DUST, FUSE+ and Tastemade+. Although telecom operators also offer video streaming platforms as a bundled service, aggregators such as OTTPlay, Amazon Prime Video, Tata Play, and Airtel XStream Premium widen the reach and subscriber base of platforms that may not be investing aggressively in distribution and marketing. HT Labs is the innovation platform of HT Media, which is also the publisher of Mint and The Hindustan Times. HMVL, a subsidiary of HT Media, also publishes Nandan (a children's magazine), and Kadambini (a socio-cultural magazine).
