Mumbai, April 18 (NationPress) Emraan Hashmi's upcoming film Ground Zero is poised to create a significant moment in cinema history as it will be the first film in 38 years to feature a red-carpet premiere in Srinagar.
As the cast and crew arrive in the Valley for this groundbreaking occasion, it signifies more than just a cinematic achievement—it represents a symbolic return for Bollywood to a region that has been devoid of such festivities for decades. Both Emraan and director Tejas Deoskar took to social media to share snapshots of their arrival. Posting pictures, the 'Murder' actor remarked on his Instagram account, “#GroundZero touchdown .. landmark day: first Red carpet movie screening after 38 years in #Srinagar, this is a special movie screening to honour BSF soldiers and their officers.”
Tejas also shared a photograph on his Instagram stories, captioning it, “Life has come full circle. We are in Srinagar for the red carpet premiere of Ground Zero.”
This exclusive screening is dedicated to the Border Security Force, with soldiers and officers attending as esteemed guests. The event acts as a tribute to their courage and sacrifice—central themes of the film.
In a recent interview, the 'Tiger 3' star revealed that on the 18th, after nearly 38 years, there will be a special screening of Ground Zero for BSF soldiers and their officers. This screening aims to honor their commitment and service while restoring a sense of normalcy to the region. It seeks to recognize the sacrifices made by the men and women who have long served in this area.
Emraan stated to IANS, “One more landmark thing we are doing — on the 18th, after almost 38 years, there will be a special screening to honour BSF soldiers and their officers. We will showcase the entire film Ground Zero to our soldiers. This, we believe, helps reinforce a sense of normalcy in the public eye. Many films have been shot in Srinagar, but we now need to take that next step — to organize more screenings for our soldiers. We should also release our films in theatres for the local audience, so that the experience of cinema becomes a part of everyday life again.”
In Ground Zero, Emraan Hashmi plays Commandant Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey, who led a two-year-long investigation. The film, based on the BSF's most audacious operation in the last fifty years, portrays a true story of duty, sacrifice, and resilience, set against the stunning backdrop of Kashmir.
The action thriller, directed by Tejas Deoskar, is scheduled to hit cinemas on April 25, 2025.
