What John Abraham said about the movie's OTT release

Earlier, John Abraham had mentioned that some OTT channels rejected The Diplomat.

“When a studio sees the film, it goes and does a round of OTTs because a studio may want to mitigate the risk by sending it to an OTT channel. Some OTT channels have refused The Diplomat because they didn’t find it great. They rejected the film; they threw it out," Abraham had told Pinkvilla.

John Abraham further stated: “In the case of The Diplomat, we have proved the studio wrong, the OTTs wrong, and everyone wrong. The best thing about The Diplomat is expectations of everyone were zero. So, from zero, when you go straight to a 10, people are like, ‘Oh, wow, this is crazy.’”
