The trailer for John Abraham’s upcoming film, The Diplomat, was released on February 14. So far, it has gained more than 8 million views. John plays the role of real-life Indian diplomat JP Singh.

The Bollywood movie revolves around a high-stakes mission where a woman seeks refuge at the Indian Embassy in Pakistan.

The trailer opens with Uzma Ahmed, a distressed woman who arrives at the embassy. She claims she was forced into marriage. John Abraham’s character, JP Singh, interrogates her and questions whether she is truly a victim or is deceiving them.

As the investigation unfolds, discussions arise about sending her back to India. But, Singh insists that the situation should be considered a humanitarian issue, not just an India-Pakistan matter.

Revathi, who plays a key role, reassures Uzma, calling her “Bharat ki Beti” (Daughter of India). As the stakes rise, the trailer hints at intense suspense and unexpected twists.

The movie also features a recreated version of the iconic Roja song, Bharat humko jaan se pyara hai. Veteran singer Hariharan has delivered the musical rendition this time as well.
