John Abraham in ‘Tehran’
A common grievance of creators in the Hindi film industry is that their films struggle to find a home. But John Abraham’s recent release Tehran is an anomaly. mid-day has learnt that the political thriller, which premiered on Zee5 on August 14, is set to stream on Netflix India from August 26, making it one of the few Hindi movies to bag a two-platform deal.

Sources tell us that Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films, which produced the Arun Gopalan-directed venture, struck a non-exclusive deal with the two streamers. A source reveals, “The promotions for the Netflix release will begin this weekend. The acclaim the film received between the two staggered releases will only boost its Netflix première.”
