The Iranian Embassy in Hyderabad releases a video linking President Masoud Pezeshkian’s speech at the UN General Assembly with the Tamil/Hindi epic film “Baahubali,” using the message of refusing to “bow our head.” The embassy presents the video as a symbolic comparison of resilience and defiance against outside pressure.

According to the embassy’s messaging, Pezeshkian rejects U.S. sanctions while saying Iran remains open to dialogue. The speech also emphasizes maintaining a strong defense posture. The outlet frames the move against a backdrop of rising U.S.-Iran tensions, portraying the UN address as reflecting Iran’s stance on both diplomacy and deterrence. Beyond the cultural reference, the report focuses on Iran’s attempt to underline its position internationally through the embassy’s local outreach.
