Zee5 might be looking at a golden opportunity this Independence Day weekend. While all streaming platforms are lining up content to grab attention during the holiday stretch, Zee5 could quietly win the race with Tehran. This thriller, starring John Abraham and Manushi Chhillar, has been stuck for a long time. In fact, it’s been delayed for over three years. Many had almost forgotten about it, but now it’s finally ready, and a new poster has brought it back into the spotlight.
It seems like the kind of film that can attract both action lovers and viewers who enjoy nationalist content. And with John Abraham in the lead, the film promises some solid performances and intense moments.
Of course, the delay has taken away some of the buzz. The hype around the film isn’t as strong as it once was, and that could be a problem. But sometimes, the right timing makes all the difference. A patriotic weekend, a political thriller Zee5 might just have the right thing for the right time.
At the same time, it’s a bit of a risk for Zee5. When a film is delayed this long, there’s always doubt. Will it live up to expectations? Will people care anymore? But if Tehran turns out to be good, it could help Zee5 stand out in a crowded OTT space.
Only time will tell, but for now, Zee5 has placed its bet, and it could just pay off big.
