Sara Ali Khan starring in her maiden period film 

Ae Watan Mere Watan is her first period film, when asked about the experience of working with props, Sara Ali Khan told IANS: “It was very interesting actually. It took a very little amount of time for me luckily to get to know how the old radio and props function because I and the setting dada became very good friends on the film. Before the take, we realised that the ‘Reset’ was nobody doing faster than me on the set.”

The actress further mentioned, “It was an old radio broadcasting device, so we had to put the record on the device, press the button, then the record player would come down, then we had to press another button then the turntable would start. If you stop it abruptly, it won’t immediately turn off and reset. There was a process to it, the device was like any other actor on set jiske final checks bahut zaroori the.” Ae Watan Mere Watan is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
