In a private interview with TopMob, John Abraham shared that certain streaming platforms declined to air The Diplomat.

Some streaming channels have chosen not to broadcast The Diplomat because they didn’t find it compelling enough; they turned down the movie instead.

In relation to The Diplomat, John commented, “We’ve managed to exceed all expectations, proving both the studio and OTT platforms, as well as everyone else, wrong.
