Tehran OTT release: John Abraham says it's 'disheartening' as theatres avoided film over controversies
John Abraham has expressed his disappointment over the direct-to-OTT release of his long-delayed film 'Tehran', which is now set to premiere on ZEE5 after being held back since 2023. Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, the actor admitted, 'It's very disheartening. I'm not going to mince my words on it, but it breaks your heart, especially for an actor who always wants to be seen on the big screen. But we all made a very informed decision on that. And the decision was that because of the conflicts and controversies that are happening around internationally.' The film, which features significant references to Iran and Israel, faced reluctance from cinema chains due to its sensitive geopolitical context. 'Theatres were a little wary of picking up a film that had Iran and Israel in it. We had a choice of either showing the film somewhere or not showing it at all,' John explained. Abraham credited ZEE5 for stepping in to give the film a home. 'Zee5 has been gracious and told us they would be our platform. But it also breaks your heart as an actor who only wants to be seen on the big screen,' he noted. Describing 'Tehran' as more of a foreign film, he added, 'When you will see the film, you will understand that why it will not resonate with a larger audience. It has got a lot of Farsi in it and a lot of Hebrew in it. It's only 1 hour and 50 minutes long. It's got a lot of foreign language in it.' Explaining the authenticity behind the language use, he said, 'The film is called Tehran and once you enter Tehran, you are not going to be speaking in Hindi… Having said all of it, it's finally coming out.' 'Tehran' will arrive on the streaming platform on August 14.

Comprehensive policy for Malayalam film industry within 2-3 months: Saji Cherian
The two-day Kerala Film Policy Conclave concluded here on Sunday with Minister for Cultural Affairs Saji Cherian making a commitment to frame a comprehensive policy for the Malayalam film industry within 2-3 months. Over the two days, panel discussions with stakeholders from the industry as well as experts from various sectors were held on nine major subjects, followed by open forum sessions involving all the delegates. At the closing ceremony, Mr. Cherian said that the government has taken serious note of the issues raised by the junior artistes about their abject working conditions, including long working hours, which will be addressed. The government will also initiate talks to arrive at a solution for the wage disparity in the industry with the stars taking a good part of the production cost, while the rest get a pittance. Safety on sets 'The government does not agree with the attempts to paint the whole film industry with the same brush. A few people who have made money are coming into the industry with other intentions. Their actions bring disrepute to the whole industry. It has to be ensured that women can work freely in shooting sets. Both women and men should have the equal freedom to go about their work. The policy will ensure complete safety for everyone on the sets. ID cards will be considered for people across sections as part of safety measures,' he said. He brought to the attention of Finance Minister K.N. Balagopal the issue of eliminating entertainment tax to resolve the issue of double taxation in the film sector. The Minister said that ₹5 crore has been allocated for implementing e-ticketing this year itself and an agreement had been reached with Digital University Kerala in this regard. A single-window system will be introduced to grant permission for film shooting. The government will ensure at least one screening in theatres for independent films and will examine the provision of more subsidies to them. The issue of bringing a common code of conduct will also be considered to prevent review bombing from damaging the film industry. The suggestion to organise a student film festival will be considered. Improvements will be brought about in the functioning of the welfare funds for cultural activists. The Finance Minister has agreed to consider favourably a proposal to revise the funds, said Mr. Cherian. The government is also planning a project to support the modernisation of old cinema theatres in the State.
