Emraan Hashmi was a favourite in Bollywood once, now he’s struggling to find his footing. His films aren’t working in theatres and his OTT projects haven’t clicked either.
Tiger 3 gave him a villainous role but that didn’t impact. Even Showtime backed by Karan Johar didn’t create buzz. Now Ground Zero is his big bet – will it be his turning point?
A military thriller produced by Excel Entertainment, Ground Zero has Emraan as BSF officer Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey on a high stake mission.
Directed by Tejas Vijay Deoskar, the film has Sai Tamhankar and Mukesh Tiwari in supporting roles. Releasing on April 25, 2025, the film promises intense action and emotional depth.
Emraan is playing an army officer for the first time a big image shift. Bollywood has seen military thrillers work wonders (Uri, Shershaah) but execution is key.
Will Ground Zero bring the same level of patriotism and intensity or will it get lost in the crowd?
He has tried everything – OTT, action films, even South cinema (OG, Goodachari 2) but success eludes him.
If Ground Zero doesn’t work it will further sideline him in Bollywood. But if it works it might just be the revival he’s been waiting for.
Ground Zero isn’t just another film for Emraan Hashmi it’s his last chance. Will he get the recognition he deserves or is this another misfire? The answer lies in how the film performs.
