Filmmaker Karan Johar on Friday unveiled a compelling teaser for their upcoming Amazon Original film 'Ae Watan Mere Watan,' ahead of the trailer launch. Celebrating the unsung heroes of Indian history, Karan introduces viewers to Usha, a courageous 22-year-old who demonstrated unparalleled bravery and patriotism during the 1942 Quit India Movement. Using an underground radio, she united the nation against British rule.

Usha's remarkable tale evokes memories of Sehmat Syed from 'Raazi,' who married into a Pakistani army family to spy on them, and PVC Captain Vikram Batra from 'Shershaah,' who instilled fear in the enemy and made the ultimate sacrifice for the nation during the Kargil War. Sharing the video, Karan wrote, "Her words echoed through the airwaves, her dedication awakened the spirit of independence in every heart. Discover the story of this unsung hero in #AeWatanMereWatanOnPrime, Mar 21."

Meet Usha from eagerly awaited historical thriller-drama 'Ae Watan Mere Watan,' which chronicles the remarkable journey of a young girl who altered the trajectory of India's fight for independence:

The film also features Sachin Khedekar, Abhay Verma, Sparsh Shrivastav, Alexx O'Neil, and Anand Tiwari in significant roles, with a special guest appearance by Emraan Hashmi. Produced by Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra under the banner of Dharmatic Entertainment, the movie is slated for an exclusive premiere on Prime Video in India and across over 240 countries and territories worldwide on March 21.

Talking about the film earlier, KJo said, "At Dharmatic Entertainment, we have always taken pride in bringing forth stories that are told from the heart and Ae Watan Mere Watan exemplifies that. Kannan and Darab have taken inspiration from a poignant point of India’s history and woven a rich story with a strong emotional core that is further enriched by Sara’s exceptional portrayal of a young revolutionary. For decades, Radio has thrived as a medium to inform, engage and entertain the masses, playing a crucial role in encouraging discourse. Ae Watan Mere Watan pays homage to the significant role radio played in uniting the country and fuelling the fire in every Indian’s heart, further emboldening the Quit India Movement."
