Bollywood actor John Abraham met with India’s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on Thursday, ahead of his new film “The Diplomat” release. During their meeting, they discussed diplomacy, football, and the northeastern region of India.
The film, which premiered on Friday, features John Abraham as JP Singh, an Indian diplomat. The movie is based on the true story of senior diplomat JP Singh, who currently serves as India’s ambassador to Israel.
The film’s teaser, released in February, opens with an interview of Minister Jaishankar, where he names Lord Krishna and Hanuman as the greatest diplomats. The movie also stars Sadia Khateeb as Uzma Ahmed, an Indian woman trapped in Pakistan.
Media speculations suggest that during the meeting, discussions were held about organizing a friendly football match between the Ministry of External Affairs team led by Jaishankar and an artists’ team captained by John Abraham.
