Emraan Hashmi to essay freedom fighter

Actor Emraan Hashmi will be playing freedom fighter Ram Manohar Lohia in the upcoming historical thriller drama 'Ae Watan Mere Watan', which has Sara Ali Khan in the lead. The makers of the flick on Monday shared the official poster of Emraan, who features in a guest appearance in the film.

Emraan portrays Ram Manohar, who played a significant role, helping establish and run the underground radio that was pivotal during the Quit India Movement. He was one of the founders of the Congress Socialist Party and editor of 'Congress Socialist'.

In the poster, Emraan is wearing a blue coloured Nehru jacket and a white Nehru topi. He is sporting black spectacles, and is raising his hand with fist closed. Sharing the poster, the makers wrote: "channeling the fearless voice of independence!"

A Dharmatic Entertainment Production, it is produced by Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra. Directed by Kannan Iyer, the film has been written by Iyer and Darab Farooqui.
