"From its very genesis, Ae Watan Mere Watan has been a deeply enriching and transformative experience for me as a filmmaker. This film, while inspired by historical events, is a homage to the unsung heroes whose extraordinary valour shaped the course of our nation's history. Through meticulous research, passionate storytelling, and years of dedication, we have strived to authentically capture the spirit of India's freedom struggle and the resilience of its people. Ae Watan Mere Watan is a labour of love and a story with a profound soul, further enriched by Sara's exceptional performance who has brought depth, nuance, and authenticity to the character. I am eager for the movie to premiere on Prime Video on March 21. I hope that through this film, we can inspire a new generation to cherish the values of freedom, unity, and courage that define our nation's identity," stated director Kannan Iyer.
On making a special guest appearance, Emraan Hashmi said, "Ae Watan Mere Watan is a heartfelt story about a lesser-known chapter from India's freedom struggle. The movie is different from anything I have done thus far. To essay the role of a political leader in the midst of India's freedom struggle has been an honour. This is my second film with Kannan, who brings a unique sense of purpose out of passion to this story. It is also my first film with Sara, whose performance will undoubtedly leave the viewers in awe. I am excited that with Prime Video, a story as poignant as this will reach a global audience." Sara Ali Khan Shares 'Sunday Thoughts' via Her Book; No Battle of Life Lies Outside.
