Prime Video today announced the exclusive global streaming premiere of its latest action-thriller, ‘Ground Zero’, starring Emraan Hashmi. Directed by Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar and produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar under the renowned Excel Entertainment banner, the film is now available for streaming in India and across more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
The announcement was made via an official Prime Video release earlier today, coinciding with the launch of a gripping teaser across social media platforms, immediately building anticipation for the film.
‘Ground Zero’ features a powerful ensemble cast, including Sai Tamhankar, Zoya Hussain, and Mukesh Tiwari alongside Emraan Hashmi. The film promises an intense, edge-of-the-seat viewing experience, combining high-octane action with a deeply emotional core.
‘Ground Zero’ draws inspiration from real events, set against the complex and politically sensitive landscape of Kashmir. At its heart lies a fictionalized account of a two-year-long, high-stakes counter-terror operation spearheaded by BSF officer Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey. The narrative chronicles his relentless pursuit to uncover the masterminds behind the devastating 2001 Parliament attack, a mission that demands unparalleled resilience, unwavering resolve, and a quiet bravery in the face of mounting and often unseen odds.
The film meticulously combines raw emotion with a compelling, action-driven storytelling style, offering a rare and insightful glimpse into the intricate strategies and the profound psychological toll endured during counter-insurgency operations in India’s conflict zones. While ‘Ground Zero’ delivers exhilarating thrills characteristic of the genre, it also stands as a powerful cinematic salute to the unsung heroes of the Indian armed forces who operate far from public view, yet play an instrumental role in shaping national security in profound and often unseen ways.
Director Tejas Deoskar, known for his ability to blend real-life grit with a cinematic pace (his other works include Bucket List and Chhatriwali), takes viewers deep into the layered world of high-stakes intelligence, personal sacrifice, and the often-blurred lines between duty and individual identity. The film also sensitively explores the emotional dimensions and sacrifices of those left behind – adding a crucial layer of human depth to its otherwise high-octane plot.
In its official statement, Prime Video highlighted the film’s significance: “’Ground Zero’ is more than just an action thriller – it is a story of courage, loyalty, and the unwavering spirit of India’s security forces. We are proud to present this film to our global audience, reaffirming our commitment to bringing compelling Indian stories to a worldwide viewership.”
With Emraan Hashmi returning to a powerful dramatic role that showcases his intensity, supported by a strong ensemble cast, ‘Ground Zero’ solidifies its place among the bold, India-centric original productions that are increasingly finding a receptive global audience on Prime Video.
The film is now readily available to all Prime members – both in India and across more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
