‘Ground Zero’ trailer: Emraan Hashmi is 'excellent' as daring BSF Commander in explosive terror-war-drama inspired by true events ! by Chaitanya Padukone

Headed by visionary innovative film-makers Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar, iconic production banner Excel Entertainment returns with Ground Zero, an untold realistic story of courage and sacrifice set against the backdrop of war. Over the past few days, the makers have sparked intrigue with intense poster drops and a gripping teaser — and now, they’ve finally unveiled the trailer of Ground Zero, a gritty story inspired by a mission that was awarded BSF’s best operation in the last 50 years, in 2015.

Emraan Hashmi takes charge in a never-seen-before avataar as real-life Kirti Chakra Bravery Awardee BSF Commandant Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey. His transformation is striking — raw, restrained, and commanding. One of his standout lines from the trailer, “Ab Prahaar Hoga,” sets the tone for what lies ahead — a soldier pushed to the edge, ready to strike back.

The power-packed trailer is filled with action and emotion, shedding light on the complex situation in Kashmir. With a haunting background score, the intensity of the mission unfolds without revealing too much. The casting feels authentic — macho Emraan ( defying his puraana popular serial-kisser image ) stands tall and impactful as a valiant soldier, while Filmfare Award-winning Sai Tamhankar ( as his supportive wife)   adds depth in a grounded, emotionally nuanced role and also supported in the cast by charismatic actress Zoya Hussain.

What lingers long after the trailer ends is the chilling voice-over of the faceless enemy — a dangerous and invisible threat that raises the intrigue and stakes of the narrative.

From the producers of Dil Chahta Hai, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobaara, Lakshya, Talaash, Gully Boy, this latest awesome entertainer with a patriotic undercurrent Ground Zero is yet another riveting phenomenal chapter in Excel Entertainment’s story-telling legacy.

Ground Zero ( which means starting point for an explosive activity) is an Excel Entertainment Production, produced by Ritesh Sidhwani & Farhan Akhtar. Directed by creative innovative genius Tejas Vijay Deoskar, the film is co-produced by Kassim Jagmagia, Vishal Ramchandani, Sundeep C Sidhwani, Arhan Bagati, Talisman Films, Abhishek Kumar, and Nishikant Roy.

The fantastic, mind-blowing trailer is out now, and the steady countdown for release has begun. Ground Zero storms into cinemas on Friday, April 25, 2025.
