Bollywood actor John Abraham recently met with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar to discuss his upcoming film, The Diplomat. The meeting, which took place in New Delhi, involved conversations about the movie, football, and India’s Northeast region.
The Diplomat, set to release on March 14, is based on the true story of senior diplomat JP Singh’s heroic rescue mission in 2017. The film follows the harrowing journey of Uzma Ahmad, an Indian woman who was forced into marriage at gunpoint in Pakistan. Singh, along with his team at the Indian High Commission in Islamabad, orchestrated a plan to bring Ahmad safely back to India.
Singh’s career has been filled with diplomatic achievements, including serving in Kabul and leading the Pakistan-Afghanistan-Iran division of the Ministry of External Affairs. In The Diplomat, John Abraham plays a fictionalized version of Singh, bringing to light the challenges faced by Indian diplomats and their dedication to protecting Indian citizens abroad.
As audiences eagerly anticipate the release of The Diplomat, they can expect a gripping retelling of a real-life diplomatic mission that showcases the bravery and commitment of Indian diplomats in crisis situations.
