Ground Zero trailer: Emraan Hashmi fights faceless enemy in Kashmir

The wait is over—the much-anticipated trailer of Emraan Hashmi’s upcoming film Ground Zero is out. The movie follows an untold 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.

About the Ground Zero trailer

In the 2-minute 42-second-long trailer, Emraan Hashmi takes charge in a never-seen-before avatar as real-life BSF Commandant Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey. 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 — Emraan stands tall as a valiant soldier, while Sai Tamhankar adds depth in a grounded, emotionally nuanced role.

What lingers long after the trailer ends is the chilling voiceover of the faceless enemy — a dangerous and invisible threat that raises the intrigue and stakes of the narrative. From the producers of Lakshya, Ground Zero is yet another riveting chapter in Excel Entertainment’s storytelling legacy.
