Mumbai, April 14 (NationPress) Emraan Hashmi's eagerly awaited "Ground Zero" has made history by becoming the first film in 38 years to host a red carpet premiere in Srinagar, Kashmir.
This premiere aims to honor the Jawans and Army officers stationed on the Line of Defence, who selflessly protect our nation from external threats. This initiative beautifully resonates with the film's core theme of patriotism.
Set to take place on April 18, the red carpet premiere of "Ground Zero" marks a significant milestone, as no other film has graced Srinagar with a premiere in the last 38 years, thus making this film a trailblazer in this regard.
The film has garnered immense affection from viewers, with its trailer being exceptionally well received, intensifying the audience's excitement.
Filmed entirely in Kashmir, "Ground Zero" features Hashmi portraying BSF Commandant Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey, who led a crucial operation to neutralize Ghazi Baba. This mission is acclaimed as the best operation conducted by the BSF in the past five decades. The movie narrates the true account of this notable yet underappreciated operation.
For context, Ghazi Baba was a high-ranking commander of Jaish-e-Mohammed and acted as the deputy commander of the militant group Harkat-ul-Ansar. He was notorious for orchestrating the Indian Parliament attack on December 13, 2001.
Alongside Hashmi, the core cast includes Sai Tamhankar, Zoya Hussain, Lalit Prabhakar, Mukesh Tiwari, Punit Tiwari, Satya Prakash, and Hanun Bawra.
Produced by Excel Entertainment, under the guidance of Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar, and directed by Tejas Deoskar, the film is co-produced by Kassim Jagmagia, Vishal Ramchandani, Sundeep C Sidhwani, Arhan Bagati, Talisman Films, Abhishek Kumar, and Nishikant Roy.
"Ground Zero" is set to release in theaters on April 25, 2025.
