Bollywood Hungama earlier reported the reason behind opting for OTT release for Tehran and shared, “Tehran has a run time of less than two hours and moreover, it's not just a Hindi language film. To maintain authenticity, certain dialogues are also in Farsi and English. Hence, the makers realized that it would suit the OTT medium more.”
