The movie, entitled Tehran, will indeed be helmed by Arun Gopalan and will be released on Republic Day, 2023. Surprisingly, this new statement will result in a massive box office battle on January 26, 2023. Fighter, starring Hrithik Roshan as well as Deepika Padukone, has been set to release on the same day.
Talking about both films hitting screens on the same day, a well-placed trade source says, “Hrithik Roshan’s film Fighter was already slated to release and now comes Tehran.

Given this, January 26, 2023, will see a massive box office clash.”
