'Ae Watan Mere Watan': Karan Johar and Sara Ali Khan launch new motion poster at IFFI 2023

Filmmaker Karan Johar shared a glimpse of Sara Ali Khan's character from her upcoming film 'Ae Watan Mere Watan' and penned an interesting note.

He wrote, ‘Aazad aawazein, qaid nahi hoti” ️ #AeWatanMereWatanOnPrime, coming soon only on @primevideoin.’

Sara will star as valiant freedom fighter Usha Mehta in ‘Ae Watan Mere Watan’. The movie will premiere on Amazon Prime soon.

Sara and Karan attended the 54th International Film Festival of India on November 20 to unveil the film's new poster. In the new poster, we're transported back in time to an era long past, witnessing a determined young girl in a dimly lit room, speaking into a radio-like gadget with intense focus.

‘Ae Watan Mere Watan’ is a fictional tale which is set against the backdrop of the Quit India Movement in 1942. It is a story of courage, patriotism, sacrifice, and resourcefulness of the youth of the nation in India’s freedom struggle.

‘As an actor, and more importantly, as an Indian I am proud to be able to portray a character that echoes bravery, strength and courage. Working with Kannan Iyer sir is a sheer privilege as he is so passionate and emotionally invested in this story himself. And while of course, it is very challenging to essay a character that is vastly different from anything that I’ve done before, it is a project I’m going to work really hard on. And most importantly, I’m going to cherish every day that I get to play an enigmatic freedom fighter,’ Sara Ali Khan said, sharing her excitement about playing this role.
