John Abraham starrer The Diplomat has arrived in cinemas as the big Holi release of the year. This thriller, which is based on true events, also stars Sadia Khateeb in the lead role. You will notice something unexpected in the opening credits.
Dinesh Vijan’s name appears under ‘Special Thanks.’ The reason for this mention connects to their latest release Chhaava.
Reason Behind Mentioning Dinesh Vijan’s Name In The Diplomat Opening Credits
A reputed entertainment portal spoke to The Diplomat‘s director Shivam Nair to find out why. He explained, “He is mentioned because he agreed to attach the teaser as well as the trailer of The Diplomat with Chhaava. He agreed to do so at John’s request. John then asked me to thank Dinesh Vijan in the film in the opening disclaimer.”
This was a well-planned move as Chhaava was released on February 14 and was already drawing large audiences. The film stars Vicky Kaushal, Akshaye Khanna, Rashmika Mandanna, and Divya Dutta. It tells the story of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj’s bravery. Directed by Laxman Utekar and produced by Maddock Films, the film became a massive success. It has crossed Rs 500 crore at the box office and continues to perform well.
Nair added, “We were very excited about Chhaava. We knew that it was a film which was surely going to work. Hence, it was the perfect film to showcase our assets.”
