Ground Zero Trailer Out: Emraan Hashmi Gears Up to Fight Infiltrators in a Powerful Army Role

Emraan Hashmi is ready to return to the big screen with his upcoming movie Ground Zero. The trailer was officially launched on April 7, 2025. This film is based on sensitive issues like terrorism and the Kashmir conflict. Many are comparing it with The Kashmir Files, which also stirred intense conversations when it released in 2022.

Backed by Excel Studios, the film promises strong action and emotions. It is directed by Tejas Prabhaa and Vijay Diouskar, while Ritesh Tejwani and Farhan Akhtar are the producers.

Release Date and Competition

Ground Zero is set to release in cinemas across India on April 25, 2025. Interestingly, Saif Ali Khan’s new movie Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins will also release on the same day. However, there’s no box office clash, as Jewel Thief will release directly on Netflix, while Ground Zero will hit theatres.

Just one week before, on April 18, Sanjay Dutt’s horror drama Bhootni will be released in cinemas. This could give tough competition to Ground Zero at the box office.

Story and Theme

The film follows a concept we’ve seen many times before — military operations, Kashmir conflict, and terrorism. While these subjects are serious, repeating the same storyline might hurt the film’s success. Over the years, many movies with similar plots have failed to leave a mark at the box office.

Emraan Hashmi’s Army Look Returns

Emraan Hashmi played a soldier earlier in Netflix’s 2019 web series Bard of Blood. It was one of his successful projects, especially because it was released during the pandemic and gained good viewership on OTT.

Now, with Ground Zero, Emraan returns in uniform. Fans are excited to see if he can repeat that success — this time, in theatres.

Upcoming Projects of Emraan Hashmi

Recently, on his birthday, Emraan gave his fans a big surprise by announcing Awarapan 2 — the sequel to his cult classic film Awarapan (2007). While Awarapan did not do well in theatres at the time, it became a fan-favorite later on TV and streaming platforms.

Though the release date for Awarapan 2 is not confirmed yet, sources say the sequel will include intense action and new story twists. Fans can expect it to release in the coming months.

Final Words

Ground Zero could be an emotional and action-packed ride. With Emraan Hashmi in a bold avatar, strong production, and a sensitive theme, it might connect with audiences. Still, only time will tell whether it will succeed at the box office or face challenges from familiar plot fatigue.
