On Monday, March 11, 2024, the makers of Ae Watan Mere Watan revealed another poster from the movie. This time, it featured actor Emraan Hashmi in black-rimmed glasses, a khadi jacket, and a Nehru cap, looking almost unrecognizable.
The actor is known for his versatility, but his never-before-seen avatar in the first look from the movie shocked fans. His character looks determined in the fight against the British rule in India. He is seen clenching his fists during an anti-Britain protest.
Emraan Hashmi is portraying Ram Manohar Lohia in the upcoming movie. Ram Manohar Lohia was an activist during the Indian independence movement and a socialist political leader. During the final phase of British colonialism in India, Lohia was working with the Congress Radio.
In the collaboration post with the actor, Prime Video India wrote, “Channelling the fearless voice of independence! Ae Watan Mere Watan on Prime Video on March 21.” The actor also took to Instagram Stories and shared a picture of Ram Manohar Lohia, confirming his role in the movie.
