Director Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoscar shared his work experience with actor Emraan Hashmi and explained why he took him in 'Ground Zero'.

एएनआई से बातचीत में उन्होंने बताया कि उनकी पहली पसंद इमरान थे, “जब आप स्क्रिप्ट लिखना शुरू करते हैं, स्क्रिप्ट की कल्पना करते हैं, तो आप उसमें अभिनेता को भी देखना शुरू कर देते हैं। और मुझे लगा कि इमरान को चुना जा सकता है क्योंकि वह एक निश्चित स्तर का नयापन लाते हैं क्योंकि उन्होंने वर्दी में कोई भूमिका नहीं निभाई है। किसी ने उनसे सैनिक या अधिकारी बनने की उम्मीद नहीं की थी, इसलिए मैंने सोचा कि मैं कास्टिंग के दृष्टिकोण से एक नया दृष्टिकोण ला सकता am.”

The film, set in Kashmir in the early 2000s, is based on a courageous mission led by BSF officer Narendra Nath Dubey, who played an important role in ending the terrorist mastermind “Ghazi Baba”.

In the film, Emraan Hashmi will play the role of BSF Commandant Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey. Sai Tamhankar will play the role of the officer's wife. On Friday, a special screening of Emraan Hashmi's film 'Ground Zero' was held for BSF jawans in Srinagar. Sharing his shooting experience in Srinagar, he said, “It was fantastic because it was like a cycle being completed. We shot the film there.”

We started the story. It is based in Srinagar, so in the end it was right to go back and show it to the people of Srinagar. So the first public screening of this film took place in Srinagar, so I am very happy about it. There are challenges with the ratio of shooting, but otherwise the administration was with us and we were very comfortable shooting the film in Srinagar, so it was not a problem. ” He also talked about the challenges of dealing with the subject, “When it comes to the real story, of course, we should understand the fact that there is a person.

Which has some image, and we cannot go beyond some limits. So even if you are taking freedom for creative purposes, there are some types of restrictions in it, and of course, I want to respect it too. So, yes, there is a set of challenges, but it is also thrilling because we know that there are real stories and real events that have happened. Therefore, it was exciting. “

The film director attended the film's special screening in the capital. Apart from Emraan Hashmi and the film's team, the screening attended BSF personnel and prestigious politicians.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Ravi Shankar Prasad, who watched the film at the screening, shared his experience, saying, “This is a very good film and presents the work done by BSF people very well to end terrorism in Kashmir. My greetings to all filmmakers.”

Produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar and directed by Tejas Deoscar, the film's co-producer is Kasim Jagmagia, Vishal Ramchandani, Sandeep C. Sidhwani, Arhan Bagti, Talisman Films, Abhishek Kumar and Nishikant Roy.

Sai Tamhankar is also a part of this film. 'Ground Zero' will be released in theaters on 25 April.
