This week, the makers of Ground Zero unveiled the gripping trailer of the  Emraan Hashmi-starrer, setting the tone for an emotionally charged, high-stakes story grounded in real events. Audiences have lauded Emraan Hashmi’s striking transformation into BSF Commandant Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey, while the authenticity of the film’s world — from military precision to emotional depth — has added to the buzz.

Director Tejas Deoskar, who helms the film, shared an insightful anecdote about the process behind that authenticity — and how closely the film worked with the BSF to ensure accuracy at every level. “Whenever we do stories and films on armed forces, we make sure that the information we put out, the protocols that we need to show on screen are accurate. So, we definitely take help from the organization. In this case, it was BSF,” he shared.
