In a dialog with the Editor-in-Chief of Filmfare on In the Ring with Filmfare, John Abraham talks about his determination to take at the movie The Diplomat. He opens up in regards to the second when he first encountered the script and what drew him to it.

“One of the reasons why I did The Diplomat was because there was a script lying on my table one morning in my producer’s cabin. I opened it and I read it, and when I read it, I just thought, ‘Wow, wow, wow.’ And I thought to myself, there’s going to be a point where it’s going to dip. You usually get disappointed when you read a script or watch a film, but it just kept going on fantastic,” John stocks.

Without telling any individual, John acted on his intuition. He mentioned, “I called up the person who sent the script and I said, ‘I want to do this film.’ That was my instinctive reaction. Why? The writing. Ritesh Shah wrote that film, and I say, ‘Listen, it’s written so well, and if we get a responsible director on board and marry the two, you could possibly get something decent enough.’”

He further emphasizes his connection to the story. Adding, “I read the script, I loved the script. It’s a human story. I did it because I loved what I read. But I loved what I read.”

John went on to detail how producers’ factor in social media and the audience’s dwindling attention spans in today’s cinema. “We’re scared. As manufacturers, I do know after we do motion pictures, we are saying ‘Oh my god, the target market goes to select up the telephone, and the entire cinema corridor will remove darkness from. This scene is just too sluggish. Let’s bombard it with background tune simply to carry their consideration,” he defined.

“I think we’re not giving enough credit to our audience. They will come back. We always talk about being flippant, but they’re far more socially conscious,” he added.
