Tehran trailer out

On August 1, the makers of Tehran finally unveiled the trailer, and it looks more than promising. There have been three blasts, and the high authority suspects it is a terrorist attack. Then comes Rajeev Kumar from Delhi Police, played by John Abraham.

His entry is no less than an action hero, but it does not seem superfluous. Even though he saves people, Rajeev is hunted by Iran, abandoned by Iran, and deserted by India. Is he a traitor or a true patriot? We need to wait for the release of Tehran to find out.
