Emraan Hashmi’s Ground Zero premiered in Srinagar

Emraan Hashmi's Ground Zero became the first film in 38 years to have a red-carpet premiere in Srinagar, Kashmir. Recently, Emraan shared the difficulties he encountered while playing his character. "Every day brought new challenges. I gravitate towards roles that make me slightly nervous—because that fear pushes me to work harder. There’s always that thought on set: 'I need to do something outstanding today.' 

That nervous energy keeps you sharp. Portraying a BSF officer for the first time meant I had to work harder physically and emotionally. The psychological state of a soldier—what they carry internally—was especially challenging to express. But that’s what ultimately shows up in the performance,” he explained to IANS. This premiere took place just days before the tragic terror attack in Pahalgam, which claimed the lives of 25 tourists and one local.
