New Delhi:

The teaser of The Diplomat, starring John Abraham, is out. The clip begins with India’s current Minister of External Affairs, S. Jaishankar, explaining the role of a diplomat. 

It then shifts to John Abraham, in a sharp suit, interrogating someone in a room. The teaser shows John speaking with a distressed Muslim woman who reveals she’s an Indian citizen. Before she can say more, John’s character offers her a glass of water and warns, “Don’t try to hide anything, or it might get difficult for you.”

John’s character is based on the real-life Indian diplomat JP Singh, while Sadia Khateeb plays Uzma Ahmed, an Indian woman trapped in an unhappy, forced marriage in Pakistan.

The teaser gives glimpses of John navigating high-stakes negotiations in Pakistan.
