The Diplomat stars John Abraham in the lead role as JP Singh, a skilled diplomat navigating a high-stakes mission. The film is an intense political thriller that highlights the power of negotiation and intellect over violence and war.

Talking about the film, Sadia Khateeb opened up about her work experience with John, "It was a beautiful experience. He is a fantastic actor, but more he is a fantastic human being. I have always admired and adored him. It was nice working with him."

“It was an inspiring journey. I started reading about it after giving the auditions......as an actor, it was challenging for me but at the same place. It was a big opportunity for me, and I was very happy to get it in the early stage of my career. When I got the project, I didn't thought much about the challenges but was full of gratitude for getting such a chance because, as an actor, you want to play such challenging and meaty roles and do something different and creative,” she added.
