What happens when duty meets devastation? Ground Zero, the gripping historical thriller starring Emraan Hashmi and Sai Tamhankar, hits theatres today, plunging audiences into the tense aftermath of the 2001 Parliament attack.
Set against the backdrop of rising national security fears, the film follows BSF officer Narendra Dubey as he steps into a volatile mission that would become one of India’s biggest anti-terror operations.
The Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar-directed movie is produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar, featuring Emraan Hashmi and Sai Tamhankar in the lead roles along with Zoya Hussain, Aeklavya Tomer, Lalit Prabhakar and Mukesh Tiwari.
Emraan Hashmi shines as the standout performer, bringing depth and restraint to his role as BSF officer Narendra Dubey. His portrayal captures both the intensity and vulnerability of a man on a mission. Abhay Dheeraj Singh, Lalit Prabhakar, and Deepak Parmesh also deliver strong performances as Dubey’s fellow officers, adding grit and camaraderie to the narrative. Sai Tamhankar and Zoya Hussain, though in limited roles, leave a lasting impression with their compelling screen presence.
