John Abraham will soon make a big-screen comeback with his upcoming film, The Diplomat. The film was originally slated to open on 7 March, but it has now been delayed by one week.

Chhaava is a key factor in the postponement of The Diplomat, starring John Abraham and Sadia Khateeb. The film starring Vicky Kaushal is doing incredibly well and dominating the box office. The Diplomat’s creators wisely decided to postpone it by a week in order to avoid having their business negatively impacted by the Chhaava wave.

At the box office, Chhaava has already made an incredible Rs 340 crore in India and is predicted to make at least Rs 500 crore by the end of its run. The pace of Chhaava is anticipated to slow down until The Diplomat’s revised release date on March 14. Compared to its former release date, the John Abraham film is now in a safer zone.

Since March 14 is Holi season, releasing it on that date will give The Diplomat a significant boost. The Diplomat had the opportunity to appear on the festival date because a Dharma Productions project that was originally scheduled to be released at the same time was pushed forward. On the same day as The Diplomat, Kesari Veer will also be released.
