Abraham revealed what the film is all about
In an old interview, Abraham had opened up about the film's premise and said, "If you're invested in the Russia-Ukraine crisis, wonder what China is doing, what Iran is doing, where does Palestine fit in this whole thing, Tehran is about all of this. It's a stunning film." He also told Pinkvilla that he was probably the first Indian actor to film in Iran.
'Tehran' will be similar to 'Madras Cafe,' 'Parmanu,' 'Batla House'
Under the Maddock Films banner, Tehran is co-produced by Bake My Cake Films. Arun Gopalan will helm the film while Ritesh Shah and Ashish Prakash Verma have penned the script. Vijan serves as a producer alongside Shobhna Yadav and Sandeep Leyzell. Tehran is reportedly based on true events and will follow the lines of Abraham's previous films like Madras Cafe, Parmanu, and Batla House.
