Emraan Hashmi’s upcoming film Ground Zero has become the first movie in 38 years to host a red carpet screening in Srinagar. The event pays tribute to the Border Security Force (BSF), with BSF soldiers and officers attending as “honoured guests”.
Sharing a selfie with director Tejas Deoskar, Hashmi wrote on social media, “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.”
Set against the backdrop of Kashmir, Ground Zero tells the story of Commandant Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey, played by Emraan Hashmi, who leads a two-year investigation into one of the BSF’s “most daring and secret operations in the past 50 years”.
Produced by Excel Entertainment, the film is backed by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar, and co-produced by Kassim Jagmagia, Vishal Ramchandani, Sundeep C Sidhwani, Arhan Bagati, Talisman Films, Abhishek Kumar, and Nishikant Roy.
Directed by Tejas Deoskar, Ground Zero is slated for a nationwide theatrical release on April 25, 2025.
