Ravi Shankar Prasad Watches Ground Zero with BSF Jawans, Says “Presents the BSF’s Role in Kashmir Very Well”

Excel Entertainment’s Ground Zero trailer has captured attention with its intense, gripping narrative—based on true events and inspired by BSF’s most significant operation in the last 50 years.

On April 18, the film created history by becoming the first movie in 38 years to host a red carpet premiere and special screening in Srinagar. Held exclusively for BSF jawans, the premiere was a powerful tribute to those who serve on the frontlines. The makers, cast, and crew came together for this rare and emotional moment, presenting the film to real-life heroes in the very land it draws inspiration from.

Carrying that spirit forward, the team travelled to Delhi for another special premiere on April 19. Member of Parliament Ravi Shankar Prasad attended the premiere and watched the film along with BSF jawans and the Ground Zero team. He interacted with Emraan Hashmi, who played BSF Commandant Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey, director Tejas Deoskar, and co-producers including Arhan Bagati.

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

The Delhi premiere was marked by appreciation, reflection, and a shared sense of pride in the story being told.

Excel Entertainment presents an Excel Entertainment Production, produced by Ritesh Sidhwani & Farhan Akhtar. Directed by Tejas Deoskar, the film is co-produced by Kassim Jagmagia, Vishal Ramchandani, Sundeep C Sidhwani, Arhan Bagati, Talisman Films, Abhishek Kumar, and Nishikant Roy. Ground Zero storms into cinemas on April 25, 2025.
