Sara Ali Khan’s Ae Watan Mere Watan has received a fresh teaser. The movie, which is said to be a homage to underappreciated freedom fighters and is based on actual events, portrays Sara as a freedom fighter. Sara silently puts together a radio-like gadget in the latest video while claiming that the British might believe they have put an end to the Quit India Movement, but this is untrue. She declares, “This is the voice of India,” adding that it can be heard all around the nation and can never be muted. She is however cut off by a knock on the door. The movie tracks her development from a Bombay college student to a liberation warrior.
“I am extremely pleased and honoured that Prime Video and Dharmatic Entertainment have given me the opportunity to be a part of a film that I honestly believe deserves to be shared,” Sara Ali Khan said in a statement about her excitement for Ae Watan Mere Watan. “I am pleased to be able to represent a character who reflects boldness, strength, and courage as an actor and, more significantly, as an Indian.”
“Working with Kannan Iyer sir is a true honour since he is so enthusiastic and emotionally invested in the subject matter, she continued. While it is undoubtedly difficult to portray a character that is very different from anything I have ever done, I intend to put a lot of effort into this endeavour. I’m going to treasure every day I get to portray a mysterious freedom fighter, and that’s what matters most.” The film’s creator, Kannan Iyer, continued by highlighting the “priceless contributions” brave heroes gave to India’s struggle for independence.
Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra are responsible for producing Ae Watan Mere Watan. Amazon Prime Video will broadcast the movie.
